The first component consists of four workshops in earth, life, physical, and space sciences. The goals of this component are to: (l) update and broaden the knowledge of earth, life, physical, and space science for thirty-two grade 6-8 teachers and four grade 6-8 principals and (2) provide each participant with the methodology and the motivation to improve the quality and quantity of science instructed in their classroom and in their school. The second component of is designed to provide the participants with the methodology and the motivation to effectively share what they have learned with their peers through five teacher enhancements activities.
