Preparing Leaders to Improve the Teaching of Physical Science on a Statewide Basis

9911886他的三年项目将为密西西比州总共410名8年级和9年级的物理教师提供专业发展。为了完成这项任务，将根据示范材料开发一本12模块的教学发展手册。然后，这本手册将被用作为130名模范教师和一名来自全州两年制和四年制学院的教职员工提供内容和加强教学的基础。前五个小组将使用前三个单元给相同的五个小组，每组26人。下个暑假将重复使用单元7-9和10-12进行第一节课和第二节课，这样130名教师就可以掌握所有12个单元。最后一个项目年将有十个三人小组，每个小组在十个地点为26名新教师提供专业发展，第三年总共有260名教师。直接受该项目影响的教师总数将成为410名高中教师和10名大学教职员工。每两个小组将在五(5)个国会选区之一运作，并由密西西比州教育部的五个中间服务区协调。

9911886BEDENBAUGHThis three-year project would provide for the professional development of a total of 410 teachers of physical science in the state of Mississippi at grades 8 and 9. To accomplish this task a twelve-module instructional development manual based upon exemplary materials will be developed. This manual would then be used as the basis for providing content and pedagogical enhancement for 130 teachers of exemplary status and one faculty member drawn from the two- and four-year colleges across the state. The first five teams would use the first three modules to the same five groups of 26 persons. The next summer would be a repeat using modules 7-9 for the first session and 10-12 for the second so that the 130 teachers would have all twelve modules in hand. The final project year would have the ten three-person teams at ten sites each providing the professional development to 26 new teachers for a total of 260 in year three. The total number of teachers directly affected by the project becomes 410 high school teachers and 10 college faculty. Each two teams would operate in one of the five (5) congressional districts and be coordinated by the five Intermediate Service Districts of the Mississippi Department of Education.
