This project from Cal State L.A. is designed to educate teachers to be leaders of hands-on science instruction in their elementary schools. The two workshops will train a total of fifty teachers to become science mentor specialists in using hands-on science materials and to understand the physical science concepts appropriate for elementary schools. The workshops will provide the mentor teachers with lesson plans and well-organized kits of materials for each hands-on unit, as well as raining in the use of these materials and how to educate teachers about them. The mentors will correlate the physical science units their school curriculum and inservice teaches at each grade level. There will be two teachers from each school represented so that each teacher will inservice half of the teachers at their school. Thus the program will develop a total school program of hands on physical science. Each participating school will provide a stipend to the teacher for conducting the inservice of their colleagues, release time for such activity, and cost share the science kits which will be given to each school. Project evaluation, problem sharing, and long range planning will be accomplished at two support sessions for all mentor teachers scheduled during the school year. Additional support will also be provided by the PIs at their individual schools during the year as they attempt to improve the teaching of science in their school. The cost sharing will be 38% of the NSF portion.

加州州立大学洛杉矶分校的这个项目旨在教育教师成为小学实践科学教学的领导者。这两个讲习班将培训总共50名教师，使他们成为使用实际科学材料的科学导师专家，并了解适合小学的物理科学概念。讲习班将为指导教师提供课程计划和每个实践单元组织良好的材料包，以及如何使用这些材料和如何教育教师的培训。导师将把他们的学校课程和在职教师在每个年级教授的物理科学单元联系起来。每个学校将有两名教师代表，这样每个教师将在他们学校的一半教师中任职。因此，该计划将开发一个全面的学校计划，动手在物理科学。每所参与学校将提供津贴给老师带领同事参与活动，并发放时间，以及费用分摊的科学教材将发放给每所学校。项目评估、问题分享和长期规划将在学年安排的两次支持会议上完成。在这一年里，当他们试图改善学校的科学教学时，他们也会在各自的学校提供额外的支持。费用分摊将是国家科学基金部分的38%。
