This project will increase the knowledge of science of K-6 teachers, improve the teachers' knowledge of the methodology associated with teaching science, explore recent science-related societal issues, and improve the ability to teach science to exceptional students (gifted and talented, bilingual, and physically disabled). The activities for elementary school teachers will be accompanied by in-service activities for principals, directed toward a quality K-6 science program and the role of the principal in developing and implementing the program. Three different, but related, programs will be offered. Fifty elementary school teachers will be selected for two of the programs. Twenty-five from within commuting distance of Lubbock will attend sessions on the Texas Tech University campus one night a week during the 1986-87 academic year and one six-week summer session in 1987. The other 25 participants, living beyond commuting distance, will attend corresponding sessions at Lamesa. Principals will participate in the third program consisting of two all- day workshops conducted in October and November of 1986. The objectives and description of an in-service program for teachers, the use of assessment instruments to evaluate K-6 science programs, and the role of principals as leaders in curriculum development will be presented. All sessions will include special programs and techniques to assist project participants in helping their colleagues in planning and teaching science. Selected teachers will meet with principals to formulate staff development strategies and plans. All activities will be based on the assumption that science in grades K-6 can be taught without elaborate equipment and supplies.

该项目将增加K-6教师的科学知识，提高教师对科学教学方法的了解，探索最近与科学相关的社会问题，并提高向特殊学生（有天赋、双语和身体残疾）教授科学的能力。 小学教师的活动将伴随着校长的在职活动，旨在高质量的 K-6 科学计划以及校长在制定和实施该计划中的作用。 将提供三个不同但相关的项目。 将为其中两个项目挑选 50 名小学教师。 来自拉伯克通勤距离以内的 25 名参与者将在 1986-87 学年期间每周在德克萨斯理工大学校园参加一个晚上的课程，以及 1987 年为期六周的夏季课程。另外 25 名居住在通勤距离之外的参与者将在拉梅萨参加相应的课程。 校长将参加第三个项目，包括 1986 年 10 月和 11 月举办的两次全天研讨会。将介绍教师在职项目的目标和说明、评估 K-6 科学项目的评估工具的使用，以及校长作为课程开发领导者的作用。 所有会议都将包括特殊的计划和技术，以帮助项目参与者帮助他们的同事规划和教授科学。选定的教师将与校长会面，制定员工发展策略和计划。 所有活动都基于这样的假设：K-6 年级的科学课程无需复杂的设备和用品即可教授。
