这项行动提供资金，为三年的标准奖，以支持研究经验的教师（RET）网站计划在辛辛那提大学题为“夏季研究经验，为七至十二年级教师在民用基础设施的更新和修复，”博士的指导下。库克瑞提 本计划的目标是：1）通过探索科学探究方法和工程师用于解决开放式真实的世界问题的关键研究技能，教育、培养和促进7至12年级的科学和数学教师; 2）通过将他们的研究经验应用于课堂和同事，使参与教师成为榜样;以及3）让教师的新技能使7至12年级的学生能够将他们的教育与社区内发生的事件和问题直接联系起来，并鼓励他们成为技术驱动社会中的有效公民。

This action provides funding for a three year standard award to support a Research Experiences for Teachers (RET) Site program at the University of Cincinnati entitled, "Summer Research Experiences for Seventh to Twelfth Grade Teachers in Civil Infrastructure Renewal and Rehabilitation," under the direction of Dr. Anant R. Kukreti. The goals of this program are: 1) to educate, cultivate, and facilitate 7th to 12th grade science and math teachers by exploring the scientific method of inquiry and the critical research skills that engineers use to solve open-ended real world problems; 2) to have the participating teachers become role models by applying their research experiences in their classrooms and with colleagues; and 3) to have the teachers' new skills enable 7th to 12th grade students to directly link their education to events and issues occurring within their community and encourage them to become effective citizens in a technology driven society.
