Developing Educational Leadership in Computational Science

9911843HUSKAMP这个国家项目为来自50所学校的200名高中教师提供计算科学方面的培训和支持。 参与教师接受180小时的指导和多达18个CEU作为这个领导力计划的一部分。 第一个干部开始与SC 2000全国高性能计算，网络会议和第二个干部与SC 2001。 在每一个方案之后，由提出方案的机构组成的国家支助结构在学年期间开展支助和在职培训活动。 其中包括每个暑期学院，以完善和扩展教师参与者的计算科学技能。 该项目的目的是调查如何最好地将计算科学介绍并融入不同学区的高中课程，以及计算科学如何影响学生学习数学，化学，生物化学，环境科学和物理学。该项目建立在以前的工作基础上，并利用提议机构及其合作伙伴的努力，他们在计算科学上有大量投资。 合作伙伴包括克雷尔研究所、国家大气研究中心、国家超级计算应用中心、俄亥俄州超级计算机中心、Shodor教育基金会和亚拉巴马大学，以及SC会议的赞助专业协会、计算机械协会和IEEE计算机协会。

9911843HUSKAMPThis national project provides training and support in computational science for 200 high school teachers from 50 schools. Participating teachers receive 180 hours of instruction and up to 18 CEUs as part of this leadership program. The first cadre begins with the SC2000 national high performance computing, and networking conference and the second cadre with the SC2001. Each is followed by support and in-service training events during the school year from a national support structure consisting of the proposing institutions. Included are Summer Institutes for each to refine and extend the computational science skills of the teacher participants. The purpose of this project is to investigate how computational science can best be presented and integrated into the high school curriculum in a variety of school districts and how computational science affects student learning of topics in mathematics, chemistry, biochemistry, environmental science and physics.This project builds on previous work and leverages the efforts of the proposing institution and its partners, who have extensive investments in computational science. The partners include the Krell Institute, the National Center for Atmospheric Research, the National Center for Supercomputing Applications, the Ohio Supercomputer Center, the Shodor Education Foundation, and the University of Alabama, as well as the sponsoring professional societies of the SC conferences, the Association for Computing Machinery and the IEEE Computer Society.
