This project is to build the institutional capacity and partnerships needed to develop a full center for teaching and learning at the University of Alabama at Birmingham. A full center as it is envisioned will focus on issues of importance for teaching middle school science and mathematics in an urban setting. Included are such issues as the recruitment of second career professionals, upgrading the knowledge and skills of existing teachers through improved professional development programs, learning how to take advantage of the abundant resources of informal science institutions that tend to be located in urban settings, and improving the undergraduate preparation of science and math teachers. During this developmental project relationships will be developed with business, industry, the military and other sources of second-career teachers; a program will be developed to provide high school students with opportunities to teach science and mathematics to younger students; a leadership training program will be established to begin building the capacity to provide professional development to the teachers of Birmingham; and relationships will be developed with the McWane Science Center, existing outreach programs at the University of Alabama at Birmingham, and the Birmingham Public Schools.

该项目旨在建立在伯明翰阿拉巴马大学建立一个完整的教学中心所需的机构能力和伙伴关系。 设想的一个完整中心将重点关注城市环境中中学科学和数学的重要性问题。 包括招募第二职业专业人员，通过改进的专业发展计划升级现有教师的知识和技能等问题，学习如何利用倾向于位于城市环境中的非正式科学机构的丰富资源，并改善科学和数学教师的本科生的准备。 在这种发展期间，项目关系将与商业，工业，军事和其他二育有元教师的来源建立；将开发一项计划，以为高中生提供向年轻学生教科学和数学的机会；将建立一项领导力培训计划，以开始建立为伯明翰教师提供专业发展的能力；并将与麦克瓦恩科学中心，伯明翰大学的现有外展计划以及伯明翰公立学校建立关系。
