This project of the Lawrence Hall of Science (LHS), University of California at Berkeley, will develop and disseminate a mathematics and science methods course, a teacher's science curriculum guide, and a motivational video designed for preschool educators. The project is in response to the need for improving the science and mathematics knowledge and teaching skills of preschool teachers. To accomplish this goal the project will develop and test a 70 hour course for early childhood educators. The inservice course will provide teachers with an introduction to science and mathematical concepts through the ecological sciences, participation in activity-based lessons, experience in adapting and teaching science content and process to preschoolers, observation of preschool programs, and development of a plan-of-action for the implementation of their own preschool science program. A revised science curriculum resulting from the course will be produced as a Teacher's Science Curriculum Guide available at the end of Year Two. During the third year, the project's materials will be disseminated through conference training sessions for an additional 400 preschool educators, and during year four the evaluation of the training materials will be completed. The cost sharing for the project will be thirty-eight percent of the NSF award.

加州大学伯克利分校劳伦斯科学堂(LHS)的这个项目将开发和传播一门数学和科学方法课程，一本教师科学课程指南，以及一段为学前教育工作者设计的励志视频。该项目是为了满足提高幼儿教师的科学和数学知识和教学技能的需要。为了实现这一目标，该项目将为幼儿教育工作者开发和测试一门70小时的课程。在职课程将通过生态科学向教师介绍科学和数学概念，参加以活动为基础的课程，向学龄前儿童提供适应和教授科学内容和过程的经验，观察学龄前项目，并制定一项行动计划，以实施自己的学前科学计划。根据这门课程修订的科学课程将作为教师科学课程指南在第二年结束时出版。在第三年，该项目的材料将通过为另外400名学前教育工作者举行的会议培训班传播，在第四年将完成对培训材料的评估。该项目的费用分摊将是NSF奖励的38%。
