9911825DAI这个为期五年的项目将提供多达20名化学教师，每年被带入一个为期两年，两个月的计划，最终将在参与者接受化学教育硕士。 参与者将从靠近宾夕法尼亚大学校园的特拉华州、马里兰州、新泽西和宾夕法尼亚州选出。 参与者将在三个夏天和两个学年的工作，以达到硕士学位的目标。 化学系正在与教育学院合作开发和维护该项目。 该项目将为参与者提供学费和奖学金，包括停车费。 在这个为期五年的项目结束时，预计将有60名教师获得硕士学位，另外两批也即将完成。大学致力于将该项目制度化，并将特别为最后两批提供必要的支持。

9911825DAIThis five-year project will provide for up to 20 teachers of chemistry each year to be brought into a two-year, two-month program which will culminate in the participants receiving a Masters of Chemical Education. The participants will be chosen from the areas of Delaware, Maryland, New Jersey and Pennsylvania which are in proximity to the University of Pennsylvania's campus. The participants will work over three summers and two academic years to reach the goal of a Masters degree. The chemistry department is working with the School of Education to develop and maintain the program. The project will provide tuition and fee scholarships to the participants, including parking. At the conclusion of this five-year program it is expected that 60 teachers will have received their Masters degree with another two cohorts having nearly completed it. The university is committed to institutionalizing the project, and will provide the necessary support for the last two cohorts in particular.
