VISIT: Virtual Immersion in Scientific Inquiry for Teachers

“教师虚拟沉浸式科学探究（VISIT）”是教师参与本地当代问题科学探究的在线合作实验室。该项目将让来自底特律和波士顿的200名中学教师在同事和科学家全年的支持下，使用广泛的数据分析工具进行调查。这些活动支持化学、环境科学、生态学、生物和地球科学方面的国家课程和框架。调查人员将获得欧洲货币联盟的毕业学分。另外800名教师将是“探索者”，对关键主题和技能的接触有限。VISIT模型和材料将通过地方、州和国家科学政府机构的教育计划、在线课程、特殊科学教育项目和系统倡议项目在全国和密歇根州东南部传播。VISIT计划在三年内聘请至少1,000名教师，并在至少六个其他城市地区复制该模式和材料。

991792XIE"Virtual Immersion in Scientific Inquiry for Teachers (VISIT)" is an Online Collaboratory for teachers to participate in ongoing scientific investigations of contemporary problems in their localities. This project will immerse 200 secondary teachers from Detroit and Boston in investigations that use extensive data analysis tools, supported by colleagues and scientists throughout the year. These activities support state curricula and frameworks in chemistry, environmental science, ecology, biological and earth sciences. The investigators will receive graduate credit from EMU. An additional 800 teachers would be "explorers" with some limited exposure to key topics and skills. The VISIT model and materials will be disseminated both nationally and in Southeastern Michigan through the educational programs of local, state, and national scientific government agencies, online courses, special science education projects and systemic initiative projects. VISIT plans to engage at least 1,000 teachers over three years and to replicate the model and materials in at least six other urban areas.
