Technical Sciences Academy: A Partnership Model

技术科学院（TSA）于1994年通过NSF/ATE拨款成立。这项新提案在1994-1997年项目的坚实基础上建立了以下几个方面：它将发展一个新的生物技术计划；加强与伙伴机构的衔接协议；提升技术资源；加强教师/教师发展计划。运输安全管理局促成了阿马里洛学院（AC）、阿马里洛独立学区（AISD）和地区领先行业之间非常成功的合作关系。新提案的活动将把运输安全管理局提升为区域/国家模式。将扩大非洲开发计划署和非洲开发计划署之间的双重信贷协议。TSA， AC和地区大学之间将协商衔接协议，以进一步实现从九年级到学士学位的无缝教育。将实施针对职前教师和农村在职教师的合作教师发展和教师培训工作。强调技术应用的活动将在现场和通过独立电视台进行。目前在运输安全管理局实施的教育/行业合作程序将被完善为一个系统，并通过各种方式分发，包括咨询、现场研讨会和远程学习应用程序。外部评估人员将测量评估/数据收集的完整性和结果完成情况。阿马里洛学院

The Technical Sciences Academy (TSA) was established through an NSF/ATE grant award in 1994. This new proposal builds on the solid foundation of the 1994-1997 project in the following ways: it will develop a new biotechnology program; strengthen its articulation agreements with its partner institutions; upgrade its technology resources; and enhance the teacher/faculty development program. TSA has resulted in a highly successful partnership between Amarillo College (AC), Amarillo Independent School District (AISD), and leading area industries. The activities of the new proposal will elevate TSA to a regional/national model. Dual credit agreements between AC and AISD will be augmented. Articulation agreements will be negotiated among TSA, AC, and regional universities to further a seamless education from the ninth grade through a Baccalaureate degree. Collaborative faculty development and teacher training efforts, directed toward pre-service and rural in-service teachers, will be implemented. Activities emphasizing technology applications will be available on-site and via ITV. The education/industry partnership procedures now implemented at TSA will be refined into a system and distributed through various means, including consultancies, on-site workshops, and Distance Learning applications. An outside evaluator will measure assessment/data collection integrity and outcomes completion. Amarillo College lV
