This project is a four year program that will provide a one week seminar each summer at the Bronx Zoo for secondary science teachers. The purpose of the program is to stimulate teachers' creativity, improve their instructional skills and to give them proficiency in the use of wildlife exhibits to motivate students to study science. The seminars will be based on the Bronx Zoo's award winning curriculum, Survival Strategies. Developed with NSF funds, Survival Strategies has been recognized as an effective program by the U.S. Department of Education; the New York State Department of Education; and the Johns Hopkins University Center for Research on Effective Schooling for Disadvantaged Students. Each summer, beginning in 1992, an intensive 5 day seminar will accommodate 35 science teachers of grades 7-11, selected from secondary schools throughout the United States. Following completion of the seminar, each participant teacher will offer in-service training for other science teachers from their local area.

该项目是一个为期四年的计划，每年夏天将在布朗克斯动物园为中学科学教师提供为期一周的研讨会。该计划的目的是激发教师的创造力，提高他们的教学技能，并让他们熟练地利用野生动物展览来激励学生学习科学。研讨会将以布朗克斯动物园的获奖课程“生存策略”为基础。生存策略是由美国国家科学基金会 (NSF) 资助开发的，已被美国教育部认定为一项有效的计划；纽约州教育部；和约翰霍普金斯大学弱势学生有效学校教育研究中心。 从 1992 年开始，每年夏天，从美国各地的中学中选出的 35 名 7 至 11 年级科学教师将参加为期 5 天的密集研讨会。研讨会结束后，每位参与教师将为当地其他科学教师提供在职培训。
