9618945 Bonney The Schoolyard Ornithology Resource Project (SORP), a collaboration between the Cornell Lab of Ornithology (Lab), TERC, the Cornell University Department of Education, and the National Audubon Society, will design, field test, evaluate, and disseminate a resource package to help teachers implement national bird research projects in their classrooms. Based on the National Science Standards, SORP will offer teachers ongoing opportunities to improve their science content knowledge and processes skills, as well as, their ability to bring scientific inquiry to their classroom. SORP will also empower teachers to undertake other projects that rely on the collection and analysis of real data. Finally, through collaboration with the National Audubon Society, SORP will provide a mechanism for teachers to receive classroom-based mentorship from community members knowledgeable in ornithology, natural history, and Internet-based technology, and specially trained to work with elementary and middle school teachers. SORP builds on several earlier NSF-supported projects: Project FeederWatch; Project PigeonWatch; the Cornell Nest Box Network; and the new Classroom FeederWatch; in which thousands of participants, many of them students, send carefully gathered data to the Lab for analysis and publication. SORP products will include: * A Resource Manual with sample workshops that focus on improving teachers' content knowledge in 1) ornithology-bird identification; bird anatomy, physiology, and behavior; the complementary nature of structure and function; bird systems; the importance of birds and their role in environmental interactions; bird diversity and adaptation; and 2) science process skills-questioning; designing and conducting an investigation; collecting, recording, and analyzing data; communicating findings and explanations; asking new questions. * Teacher assessments that use classroom outcomes to measure progress. * A SORP Home Page and Practice Area that w ill include opportunities for exploring data entry and retrieval, e-mail communication, and data analysis both during and after workshops. It will also include resources, both original and hot-linked, on both science content and pedagogy, to help teachers extend their knowledge and skills. Workshops will be held at the Lab and at training centers across the country, including National Audubon Society Centers, for teachers wishing to implement bird studies and other inquiry-based explorations into their classrooms. Netcourses will be offered to help those teachers who are more isolated and want to include the use of scientific data gathering in their instruction.

9618945 Bonney校园鸟类学资源项目（SORP），康奈尔（Cornell）实验室（实验室），TERC，康奈尔大学教育部和国家奥杜邦协会（National Audubon Society）之间的合作，将设计，评估，评估和分发资源套餐，以帮助教师在其教室中实施国家鸟类研究项目。 根据国家科学标准，SORP将为教师提供持续的机会，以提高其科学内容知识和过程技能，以及他们将科学探究带到课堂的能力。 SORP还将使教师能够进行其他依靠真实数据收集和分析的项目。最后，通过与国家奥杜邦协会的合作，SORP将为教师提供一种机制，使教师从社区成员中获得基于课堂的指导，从知识渊博的鸟类学，自然历史和基于互联网的技术知识渊博，并经过专门的培训，可以与小学和中学教师合作。 SORP建立在几个早期的NSF支持的项目上：Project FeederWatch； PigheonWatch Project; Cornell Nest Box网络；和新的教室喂食器；其中成千上万的参与者（其中许多学生）将精心收集的数据发送到实验室进行分析和出版。 SORP产品将包括： *带有样本研讨会的资源手册，重点是改善教师的内容知识1）鸟类学鸟类识别；鸟解剖学，生理和行为；结构和功能的互补性；鸟类系统；鸟类的重要性及其在环境互动中的作用；鸟类多样性和适应； 2）科学过程技能问题；设计和进行调查；收集，记录和分析数据；传达发现和解释；问新问题。 *使用课堂成果来衡量进度的教师评估。 *一个不病的SORP主页和练习区域，其中包括在研讨会期间和之后探索数据输入和检索，电子邮件通信以及数据分析的机会。它还将在科学内容和教学法上包括原始和热连接的资源，以帮助教师扩展他们的知识和技能。 讲习班将在实验室和全国各地的培训中心举行，包括国家奥杜邦学会中心，他们希望在教室中实施鸟类研究和其他基于询问的探索。 将提供NetCourses，以帮助那些更加孤立并希望将科学数据收集的老师在其指导中进行。
