Project TEAMS - Teachers Education Alliance for Math and Science

数学和科学教师教育联盟(TETES)是由7个学区、李学院和休斯顿大学/克利尔湖大学组成的伙伴关系，正在制定和加强数学和科学方面的低级教师教育课程；为职前学生提供实地经验和与在职教师互动的机会；以及招聘潜在教师，特别是来自代表性不足的群体。该项目的成果包括新的团队授课的跨学科课程，物理科学/代数，修订的小学教师数学课程，以及为未来的小学教师提供的新的完全衔接的副学士学位课程。新课程反映了德克萨斯州的标准和4-8年级的新认证要求。由社区学院和大学教师授课的一系列周六实验室专注于由职前和在职教师对数学/科学项目的理解和发展。职前/在职团队正在为四年级和五年级的学生设计实验，并通过巡回实验室在合作学校开展活动。此外，未来的教师正在为四年级和五年级的科学和数学导师提供课堂帮助。

The Teacher Education Alliance for Math and Science (TEAMS), a partnership of 7 school districts, Lee College, and the University of Houston/Clear Lake, is developing and strengthening lower division teacher education curricula in math and science; providing preservice students with opportunities for field experiences and interaction with inservice teachers; and recruiting prospective teachers, particularly from underrepresented groups. Outcomes of the project include a new team-taught interdisciplinary course, Physical Science/Algebra, a revised Math for Elementary Teachers course, and a new fully articulated associate degree program for prospective elementary teachers. New courses reflect the Texas state standards and new certification requirements for grades 4-8. A series of Saturday Labs taught by community college and university faculty focuses on the understanding and development of math/science projects by pairs of preservice and inservice teachers. The preservice/inservice teams are designing experiments geared for 4th and 5th grade students and conducting the activities in the partner schools through a Traveling Lab. In addition, prospective teachers are providing classroom assistance to 4th and 5th grade mentor teachers in science and math.
