This project is designed to implement and sustain a scientific-and technological-literacy-for-all-students approach in elementary schools in Arizona. An action plan will be developed by each school community and will include the following features: a) designation of the school principal as the facilitator of school community change, b) selection of a science instructional leader who will receive special preparation in a science, technology, society, and science education academy, c) design of vehicles for the sharing of up-to-date science and technology information by the science instructional leader with other teachers and children, d) development of interdisciplinary, instructional thematic units which provide up-to-date technology learning experiences to supplement the existing science and social studies programs, and e) involvement of community businesses, industries, informal education agencies and key parents. A variety of useful products and outcomes will be developed including: a)A Science, Technology, Society Curriculum Data Bank which will enable sharing of such resources as: thematic units developed by teachers; newsletters on science and technology; reviews of relevant video- cassettes; reviews of relevant television programs; reviews and suggested use of locally available curriculum materials; information about community resources, computer software programs, pamphlets, brochures, and films. b)A report about effective strategies and approaches for creating thematic units that utilize local resources, deal with societal issues, and have local and community relevance and practicality for students. c)Suggestions about effective strategies and techniques for implementing thematic units with children in classrooms. d)Descriptive, longitudinal and comparative research data about the process and effects of attempting to bring about substantial change in the science curriculum utilizing two different sequences of teacher preparation and implementation.

该项目旨在在亚利桑那州的小学实施和维持面向所有学生的科学技术素养方法。 每个学校社区将制定一项行动计划，其中包括以下内容：a) 指定校长作为学校社区变革的促进者；b) 选择一名将在科学、技术、社会和科学教育学院接受特殊准备的科学教学领导者；c) 设计科学教学领导者与其他教师和儿童共享最新科学和技术信息的工具；d) 开发跨学科的教学主题单元，提供 最新的技术学习经验，以补充现有的科学和社会研究计划，以及 e) 社区企业、工业、非正式教育机构和主要家长的参与。 将开发各种有用的产品和成果，包括： a) 科学、技术、社会课程数据库，该数据库将能够共享以下资源： 教师开发的主题单元； 科学技术通讯；审查相关录像带；相关电视节目的评论；审查并建议使用当地现有的课程材料；有关社区资源、计算机软件程序、小册子、宣传册和电影的信息。 b) 关于创建利用当地资源、处理社会问题并对学生具有当地和社区相关性和实用性的主题单元的有效策略和方法的报告。 c) 关于在课堂上与儿童一起实施主题单元的有效策略和技术的建议。 d)关于试图利用两种不同的教师准备和实施顺序对科学课程带来实质性改变的过程和效果的描述性、纵向和比较研究数据。
