New Science Teachers' Support Network

该项目正在为初中和中学的科学教师创建一个支持网络。乔治梅森大学的科学和教育教师正在与费尔法克斯县公立学校和威廉王子县公立学校的教师和管理人员合作，提高初高中科学教师的教学质量，提高这些职业转行者的保留率，并进行纵向研究，以确定在保留率方面最显著的差异。教师支持网络包括教学导师、教练、学术导师、为新教师提供的基础和高级科学或数学方法课程，以及一个提供资源的网站，以满足不同学习者的需求，并在教学中使用技术。

This project is creating a support network for alternatively certified science teachers in middle and secondary schools. Science and education faculty at George Mason University are collaborating with teachers and administrators in the Fairfax County Public Schools and Prince William County Public Schools to enhance the quality of teaching of beginning middle and high school science teachers who are provisionally licensed, to increase the retention rate of these career changers, and to conduct longitudinal research to determine what makes the most significant difference in retention. The Teacher Support Network includes teaching mentors, coaches, academic mentors, basic and advanced science or mathematics methods courses for new teachers, and a website to provide resources for meeting the needs of diverse learners and for using technology in teaching.
