Leadership Development for Technology Integration: Developing an Effective NSDL Teacher Workshop Model

该项目正在开发和研究一种混合研讨会模式，以支持数学教师将国家科学数字图书馆(NSDL)的资源和技术整合到他们的课堂中。该项目在三年的时间里直接吸引了900多名5-9年级的教师，包括教师领导和那些尚未在课堂上使用技术的教师。根据之前的研究，该计划将参与者分为三组：(1)找到像数学论坛这样的网站并立即知道如何与学生一起使用的人；(2)找到像数学论坛这样的网站并希望与学生一起使用但需要支持的人；以及(3)找到像数学论坛这样的网站并需要支持的人，他们甚至认为自己可以在课堂上利用它。对于每个教师小组，拟议的工作坊计划旨在加强教师的数学内容知识、数学教学方法和使用技术来支持学生解决数学问题。所有参与者的长期参与和课程整合由一个包含基于技术的每周问题(TPoW)的教学计划支持。该计划将参与者纳入由nsdl支持的数学工具(http://mathforum.org/mathtools)用户社区。支持参与者设计与工具配套的课程，评估工具，讨论教学思想，并在积极的、合议性的讨论中相互支持。研究正在解决持续的讲习班和后续行动对教师实践、学生的工作和学校文化的影响。

This project is developing and studying a hybrid workshop model that supports mathematics teachers to integrate National Science Digital Library (NSDL) resources and technologies into their classrooms. The project is directly engaging over 900 teachers of grades 5-9 over its three years, including teacher leaders and those who are not yet making use of technology in their classes. Guided by prior research, the program tailors participation to three groups: (1) those who find a site such as the Math Forum and know immediately how to use it with their students; (2) those who find a site like the Math Forum and would like to use it with their students but need support to do so; and (3) those who find a site like the Math Forum and need support to even think that they could make use of it in their classes. For each teacher group, the proposed workshop program is designed to strengthen teachers' mathematical content knowledge, math pedagogy, and use of technology to support students' mathematical problem solving.Long-term engagement and curriculum integration for all participants is supported by an instructional program that incorporates a technology-based Problem of the Week (tPoW). The program integrates participants into the NSDL-supported Math Tools (http://mathforum.org/mathtools) community of users. Participants are supported to design lessons to go with the tools, evaluate tools, discuss pedagogical ideas, and support one another in active, collegial discussions. Research is addressing the impact of sustained workshop and follow-up on teachers' practices, the work of their students, and the culture of their schools.
