The Hartford Public Schools will establish a two-year Beginning Teacher Enhancement Program in Mathematics and Science. The goals include, (1) to train a cadre of 20 well-prepared elementary and middle school teachers to serve as resource persons for the beginning and reassigned staff (Phase I); (2) to provide summer and school year inservice workshops and professional enhancement seminars to 60 beginning and reassigned teachers (Phase II); and (3) to offer follow-up coaching and mentoring services to the less well-prepared teachers. The workshop curricula and project strategies respond to the Districts's 1988 teacher needs assessment and suggestions by the State Department of Education Mathematics and Science consultants. During the first year, Phase I teachers will participate in a two-week summer workshop emphasizing hands-on science content and leadership strategies. During the second summer workshop and symposia, Phase II teachers will participate in a two-week program which will emphasize the hands-on content under the tutelage of the project staff as well as selected teachers from Phase I. The science program will be lead by personnel from the Thames Science Center in New London who have extensive experience in this type of experiential activities. The mathematics component will be under the leadership of the mathematics supervisory staff and the project staff. Science and mathematics mentors, who have completed programs at Wesleyan (PIMMS), will assist both the Phase I and Phase II teachers as they implement their enhanced content and methodology skills in the classroom. The proposal represents a coordinated effort of the Public Schools, the Hartford Alliance, St. Joseph's College, Central Connecticut College, Wesleyan and the Connecticut State Department of Education. The Hartford Public School District has cost-shared an amount equivalent to 55% of the NSF request.

哈特福德公立学校将建立一项为期两年的数学和科学教师增强计划。 目标包括，（1）培训由20个准备好的小学和中学教师组成的干部，以作为开始和重新分配员工的资源人员（第一阶段）； （2）为夏季和学年的内在服务讲习班和专业增强研讨会提供60个开始和重新分配教师的专业增强研讨会（第二阶段）； （3）向不足准备的老师提供后续教练和指导服务。 研讨会课程和项目策略应对州教育数学和科学顾问的1988年教师需要评估和建议。 在第一年，第一阶段的老师将参加为期两周的夏季研讨会，强调动手科学内容和领导策略。在第二个夏季的研讨会和研讨会上，第二阶段的老师将参加为期两周的计划，该计划将在项目人员的指导下强调动手内容，并从I期。科学课程的精选教师将由新伦敦的泰晤士河科学中心的人员领导。 数学组成部分将在数学监督人员和项目人员的领导下。 在卫斯理（PIMMS）完成计划的科学和数学导师将在课堂上实施增强的内容和方法学技能，以帮助第一阶段和第二阶段的老师。 该提案代表了公立学校，哈特福德联盟，圣约瑟夫学院，中央康涅狄格学院，卫斯理和康涅狄格州教育部的协调努力。 Hartford公立学区的成本率相当于NSF请求的55％。
