The Pueblo Project

这是一个为期三年的项目，旨在加强科罗拉多州普韦布洛市所有K-5年级学校的物理科学教学，并实现公平的条件，使每个孩子都有充分的教育机会，而不考虑过去限制科学成就的因素。普韦布洛公立学校第60区是全国拉美裔儿童入学率最高的十个学区之一。72名领导教师将参加(1)暑期参加为期1周的股权研究所，然后参加为期3周的物理科学研究所，(2)在学年期间参加每月半天的讲习班，为课堂使用工具包材料做准备，(3)在接下来的暑假期间与校长一起举办为期一天的讲习班，为学校所有教师的科学服务进行规划，以及(4)在参加第二年期间，实施学校的科学服务计划。这一项目适用于教师提高方案，因为它是一个全区范围的项目，旨在以实质性的方式加强所有地区学校的领导教师的科学教学，而且因为它有效地解决了向儿童教授科学的公平问题。股权部分是以NSF资助的成功的SEER项目为蓝本的，该项目在密苏里州圣路易斯进行。非NSF费用分摊约为NSF要求的金额的21%。

This is a three-year project designed to enhance the physical science instruction in all of the Pueblo, Colorado city schools, grades K-5, and to achieve a condition of equity which allows full educational opportunity for every child regardless of factors which have limited science achievement in the past. The Pueblo Public School District No. 60 is among the highest ten in the nation in the enrollment of Hispanic children. Seventy-two Leader Teachers will participate (1) during the summer in a 1-week Equity Institute followed by a 3-week Physical Science Institute, (2) during the academic year in monthly half-day workshops to prepare for classroom use of kit materials, (3) during the following summer in a one-day workshop with their principals to plan for the science inservice of all the teachers in their schools, and (4) during the second year of participation, in the implementation of their school's science inservice plan. This project is appropriate for the Teacher Enhancement Program because it is a district-wide project designed to enhance in a substantive way the science teaching of Leader Teachers in all district schools, and because it effectively addresses equity issues in the teaching of science to children. The equity component is modeled on the successful, NSF-funded SEER project which was conducted in St. Louis, Missouri. Non-NSF cost-sharing is approximately 21% of the amount requested from NSF.
