Improving Opportunities for Students with Disabilities through Cooperative Dissemination

提案#HRD-0094986机构：北爱荷华州大学首席研究员：Gregory Stefan标题：“通过合作授精为残疾学生提供更多机会”摘要该项目是一个交流/传播项目，供教师、行政人员和教师教育工作者交流/传播，以增进他们对残疾学生科学教学资源的了解和熟悉。该项目将继续与NSTA现有的联盟，以增强所有理科学生的公平性。交付方式将是2001年3月20日至25日在密苏里州圣路易斯举行的NSTA年会上提出的为期两天的会前计划，在NSTA会议上进行分部介绍，并在整个会议期间在展厅保留一个展台。这个项目将教育为残疾学生提供服务的专业人员关于有效的资源和教学/评估策略。涉及的残疾领域将包括运动/矫形障碍、聋哑人和重听人、视觉障碍、学习障碍、认知障碍和行为障碍。辅助技术、教师教育、有效教学研究、教学方法、材料和方案、评估和评估以及教育组织和机构等领域的信息将传播给会议前的与会者和参观展台的人。拟议的努力将涉及立法授权(即1973年《残疾人教育法》；1989年《美国残疾人教育法》，1997年《残疾人教育法》)中教育工作者的责任，有关残疾学生科学机会的文献中反映的不平等现象，以及教师和教师教育工作者在为残疾学生提供科学教学方面的信息需求。

Proposal # HRD-0094986Institution: University of Northern IowaPrincipal Investigator: Gregory StefanichTitle: "Improving Opportunities for Students with Disabilities through CollaborativeDissemination"ABSTRACTThis project is a communication/dissemination project for teachers, administrators and teacher educators to improve their knowledge and familiarity with resources for the teaching science to students with disabilities. The project will continue an existing alliance with NSTA to enhance equity for all students in science. The mode of delivery will be a two-day pre-conference program presented at the NSTA Annual Meeting in St. Louis, Missouri on March 20-25, 2001, a sectional presentation at the NSTA meeting, and maintaining an exhibit booth in the exhibition hall throughout the conference. This project will educate professionals providing services to students with disabilities about effective resources, and teaching/assessment strategies. The disability areas addressed will include motor/orthopedic impairments, deaf and hard of hearing, visual impairments, learning disabilities, cognitive impairments, and behavioral disabilities. Information in the areas of assistive technologies, teacher education, research on effective teaching, methods of instruction, materials and programs, evaluation and assessment, and educational organizations and agencies will be disseminated to participants in the pre-conference and to those visiting the exhibit booth. The proposed effort will address responsibilities of educators contained in legislative mandates (i.e. Disabilities Education Act, 1973; Americans with Disabilities Act, 1989, Individuals with Disabilities Education Act, 1997), inequities reflected in the literature concerning opportunities in science for students with disabilities, and informational needs of teachers and teacher educators in making science instruction responsive to students with disabilities.
