Teachers Experiencing Polar Research Initiative

9904860SHIPP他的5年计划每年与12-16名新教师合作，这些教师参与了NSF教师体验南极洲或北极计划。它的计划是帮助挑选这些教师，帮助他们为极地地区的研究做准备，与他们合作开展课堂活动，让科学家做好在研究和教育环境中与教师合作的准备，并监督和管理一个广泛的网站，以便教师之间进行交流。为了提高近实时或实时的冰上通信的有效性，该计划将利用技术(互联网和CU-See Me)。这种电子网络以及国家会议上的网络旨在维持由教师、研究人员、课程制定者、管理人员和学生组成的日益增长的网络，这些网络构成了极地学习社区。在任一极地地区参加研究体验的教师应密切指导他们的三位同龄人在课堂上使用研究范例，并使用国家科学基金会支持的极地课程(冰川项目)。三名教师每人至少辅导127个小时，在完成极地研究经验后需要。问责制是通过与项目高级人员和项目评估员共享的日记保持的。转到课堂活动首先是去冰之前的讲习班，然后是从冰回来后的广泛的后续讲习班。除了茶老师，茶协也将参加项目的活动。

9904860SHIPPThis 5-year program works with 12-16 new teachers each year who are participating in the NSF Teachers Experiencing Antarctica or Arctic program. Its plan is to help with the selection of those teachers, help prepare them for research in the polar regions, work with them on transfer to the classroom activities, prepare the scientists to work with the teachers in both the research and education setting, and oversee and manage an extensive website for communication between teachers. To increase the effectiveness of communication from the ice in near-real or real-time the program will leverage the use of technology (Internet and CU-See Me). This electronic networking along with that at national meetings is designed to sustain the growing network of teachers, researchers, curriculum developers, administrators, and students that constitute the Polar Learning Community. Teachers who participate in a research experience in either polar region are expected to close mentor three of their peers in the use of the research paradigm in their classroom and use the NSF supported polar curriculum (Project GLACIER). Mentoring is for a minimum of 127 hours for each of three teachers and is required upon completion of the polar research experience. Accountability is maintained through a journal shared with the senior personnel of the project and project evaluator. Transfer to the classroom activities begins with a workshop session before going to the ice and in extensive follow-up workshops upon return from the ice. In addition to the TEA teachers, TEA associates will participate in the program's activities as well.
