@import url("http://www.alliance.brown.edu/css/rs_adv.css"); Introduction Connecticut Maine Massachusetts ... Site Tools VIRGIN ISLANDS Strategic Teacher Development [detail] The goal of Strategic Teacher Development is to generate procedural knowledge about how teachers in low-performing schools build and direct teacher-centered communities of purpose as their central approach to improve student learning. The underlying premise that informs Strategic Teacher Development is that whole school improvement involves the development of an active community of teachers whose purpose is to focus intensively on developing and supporting classroom practices that result in improved student learning. Such a community is called a purposeful learning community. Given this, our research questions focus on the following lines of inquiry: 1) How do purposeful learning communities emerge in the context of low-performing schools? 2) How does an external change agent effectively support the development of a purposeful learning community? 3) Do purposeful learning communities improve teaching practice and student learning?

Explore environmental and organismal biology in a tropical setting! The beautiful and diversified U.S. and British Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico provide the natural classroom for this program. Clear tropical seas, colorful coral reefs, white sand beaches, and island ecology from desert to rainforest- these combined with warm breezes and new cultural experiences, are qualities that make up the Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico. The itinerary includes 14 days at the Virgin Islands National Park on St. John, which will include an opportunity to hike wilderness trails and snorkel on coral reefs while learning by direct experience about geological, ecological and human factors that cause change in nature. Day trips are planned on two of the British Virgin Islands (BVI) - Tortola and Virgin Gorda. On Tortola, the largest island in the BVI's, the group will hike to the top of Sage Mountain, the highest point in all of the Virgin Islands. On a visit to Virgin Gorda we will view the natural granite "baths". An additional day trip will take students to Buck Island National Monument, site of the Virgin Islands' most famous coral reef.

12th Symposium on Education Meteorology in the US Virgin Islands David J. Smith , University of the Virgin Islands, St. Thomas, US Virgin Islands The Division of Science and Mathematics at the University of the Virgin Islands will make its inaugural offering, during the spring semester of 2003, of Introduction to Meteorology, utilizing the American Meteorological Society's course Online Weather Studies. The University of the Virgin Islands is an HBCU liberal arts institution with campuses on St. Thomas and St. Croix, with a total student population of approximately 3000. The Division of Science and Mathematics offers degrees in physics, chemistry, biology, marine biology, mathematics, and computer science. The course will be conducted primarily as an asynchronous distant learning course, but will also include weekly one-hour tutorials on each campus. The director and primary professor for the course will be physicist Dr. Dave Smith, who will also conduct the tutorials on the St. Thomas campus. Physicist Dr. Michael Henry will conduct the tutorials on the St. Croix campus. While topics in meteorology have routinely been a part of the curriculum of the physics and general education courses, the Introduction to Meteorology / Online Weather Studies course will be the first course at UVI dedicated to the study of weather. It represents the first step in the development of a new program in meteorological studies. Utilizing the Virgin Islands' recent designation as an EPSCoR state, UVI is in the preliminary planning stages of a broad-based research program. Dr. Smith is working with colleagues in physics and chemistry to establish programs in LIDAR, weather monitoring and weather modeling that can provide research opportunities for undergraduates. Introduction to Meteorology will provide UVI students with the fundamentals necessary to participate in this research and to pursue careers in weather studies.
