Education Development Center, Inc. (EDC), and the Cleveland Education Fund have formed a partnership with the Cleveland Public Schools to assist the district improve its elementary science program. The primary goal of the collaborative project is to build the Cleveland Public Schools' capacity to employ a staff development model which will lead to the implementation of an exemplary inquiry-based science program. It is anticipated that by the end of the project every elementary school in the city will have selected a new hands-on science program and have an informed principal and a team of teachers ready to support others in their building as they implement the new program. The project provides an opportunity to examine in depth the change process required in a system which is firmly committed to decentralization and school-based management at the same time that it is attempting to change the way science is taught in each elementary school. It is, therefore, anticipated that the project's assessment will increase our understanding of effective staff development models for both enhancing the teaching of elementary science and for assuring the successful institutionalization of inquiry-based science programs. The cost sharing for the project will be almost 400% of the NSF portion.

教育发展中心(EDC)克利夫兰教育 基金会与克利夫兰公立学校建立了伙伴关系， 协助地区改善其基础科学计划。 的 该合作项目的主要目标是建立克利夫兰 公立学校采用员工发展模式的能力， 将导致实施一个示范性的调查为基础的科学 程序. 预计到项目结束时， 在城市小学将选择一个新的动手 科学计划，并有一个知情的校长和教师团队 准备好支持其他人在他们的建设，因为他们实施新的 程序. 该项目提供了一个机会，深入研究 一个系统所需的变革过程， 同时，学校还应实行权力下放和校本管理， 试图改变每个小学的科学教学方式， 学校 因此，预计该项目的评估 将增加我们对有效的员工发展模式的理解 为了提高基础科学的教学， 确保探究式科学的成功制度化 程序. 该项目的成本分摊将几乎是NSF的400% 部分。
