Narrative:

I was acting flight instructor, instructing instrument approachs. My student has her multi-private and 60 hours in the type: BE76. We were flying an ILS runway 35R into will rogers world airport. My student flew the approach very well and there was no indications of any problem. At decision ht my student took her 'hood' off to make a touch and go, as she was told to do. After touchdown we rolled for a short while and my student reached for the flaps but raised the gear instead. As she reached for the gear handle I tried to stop her but she was quicker. She realized her mistake and put the gear handle back into the down position. However, the over center lock was already disengaged and the nose slowly sunk to the ground. The nose, both propellers were damaged. Neither me nor my student was injured and we walked away from the aircraft. I do not see anything that I could have done as a flight instructor other than being quicker. Supplemental information from acn 361496: while main gear is compressed nose gear should not be allowed to retract. Sqwat switch should be re-engineered. Due to student error -- instructor was unable to reverse problem. Therefore he should not have to do a 609 ride but rather the student.
