SUMMER INSTITUTE FOR BIOLOGY EDUCATION

拟议项目的目标是为改善 通过提供高质量的大学前科学教育 为教师提供的生物科学在职课程， 充分利用密歇根大学丰富的人力和物质资源 威斯康星州--麦迪逊。这一目标将通过暑期学院来实现 为了生物教育。 生物教育中心的这个项目将 有四个组成部分：1)现有产品的扩展 存在，通过开发一些不同学科的新模块 区域，2)开发面向动物的生物学计划，3) 扩大教师领导计划，以及4)增加 为教师提供参与科学研究的机会。 它将建立在广泛的组织和方案经验的基础上 现有计划的一部分。它将围绕以下几个模块构建 为期一到两周，每个有15到20名参与者，他们将 考虑到学分和外部资金的住宿津贴 和旅行费用。即将开发的新科目包括一条关于 健康和疾病，酒精和药物，神经科学和以动物为导向 生物课。 以动物为导向的生物课程将帮助教师发展坚实的 理解生物学概念，这将使他们能够更好地 让他们的学生为建立健康、高效的人际关系做好准备 动物。这将通过学习生活的实际机会来实现。 动物，目的是让这些老师有可能翻译 这些学习体验被提供，直接融入课堂活动。 暑期生物教育学院的一个至关重要的方面 是发展教师领导力的概念，以便与之合作 这所大学致力于改善生物教育。每一年，每一年 暑期学院模块，将选出一名或多名教师 本模块的首席教师。领班老师将是联络人 学院工作人员、讲师和教师参与者之间的人员往来。 在学年期间，主讲教师将协助该项目 招募参与者，在当地社区组织活动和 学区，并作为他们所在地区的其他教师的纽带 州政府。 拟议的项目将有助于解决缺乏经验的问题。 并通过增加机会来了解科学过程 浅谈高校科研中的教师参与科研 实验室。

The goal of the proposed project is to contribute to the improvement of science education at the precollege level by providing a high quality inservice program in the biological sciences for teachers, which capitalizes on the rich human and physical resources at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. This goal will be addressed through the Summer Institute for Biology Education. The project under the umbrella of the Center for Biology Education will have four components: 1) the expansion of the offerings that presently exist, by the development of new modules in a number of different subject areas, 2) the development of an animal oriented biology program, 3) the expansion of a teacher leadership program, and 4) increasing the opportunities for teachers to participate in scientific research. It will build upon the extensive organizational and programmatic experience of the existing programs. It will be structured around several modules of one to two weeks in length, each having 15 to 20 participants who will be given academic credit and stipends from outside funds for accommodations and travel expenses. The new subjects to be developed include a track on Health and Disease, Alcohol and Drugs, Neurosciences and an animal oriented biology program. The animal oriented biology program will assist teachers to develop a solid understanding of biological concepts which will enable them to better prepare their students for healthy and productive interrelationships with animals. This will be done through actual opportunities to study living animals with the intent to make it possible for these teachers to translate these learning experiences offered, directly into classroom activities. A critically important aspect of the Summer Institute for Biology Education is the concept of developing teacher leadership to work in partnership with the university to improve biology education. Each year, and for each module of the Summer Institute, one or more teachers will be selected to be the lead teacher for the module. The lead teacher will be the liaison person between the Institute staff, lecturers and the teacher participants. During the academic year the lead teachers will assist the project in recruiting participants, organizing activities in the local community and school district and serving as a link to other teachers in their region of the state. The proposed project will help address the issue of the lack of experience and knowledge about the scientific process by increasing the opportunities for teacher to participate in scientific research in university research laboratories.
