9354098 St. John Mark St. John, President of Inverness Research Associates, has organized a four-day conference in October, 1993 devoted to systemic reform of science instruction in urban school districts. Eight urban districts that are at least three years into NSF-funded reform efforts will send teams to share their experiences, develop new skills, and contribute to a proceedings volume that will document the lessons learned in these projects. Project leaders from Teacher Enhancement projects in Cleveland, Buffalo, Baltimore, San Francisco, Pasadena, and Las Vegas will be primary participants. Teams from cities with more recently initiated reform projects (New York, Los Angeles, Brooklyn, and Cincinnati) will also attend. The monograph resulting from the conference will identify barriers to systemic change encountered by the participating teams, and the solutions they have crafted. Four of the participating districts will be the subjects of in-depth case studies presented in the monograph. These lessons may prove essential to the many urban districts embarking on systemic change, including those districts eligible for NSF support through the Urban Systemic Initiative. Cost sharing on this project represents approximately 10% of the NSF contribution. ***

9354098 St. John Mark 圣约翰，因弗内斯研究协会主席，于 1993 年 10 月组织了一次为期四天的会议，专门讨论城市学区科学教学的系统改革。 国家科学基金会资助的改革工作已经进行了至少三年的八个城市地区将派出团队分享他们的经验，开发新技能，并为记录这些项目中吸取的经验教训的会议记录做出贡献。 克利夫兰、布法罗、巴尔的摩、旧金山、帕萨迪纳和拉斯维加斯教师增强项目的项目负责人将是主要参与者。来自最近启动改革项目的城市（纽约、洛杉矶、布鲁克林和辛辛那提）的团队也将参加。 会议产生的专着将确定参与团队遇到的系统变革的障碍以及他们制定的解决方案。其中四个参与地区将成为专着中深入案例研究的主题。这些经验教训可能对许多着手进行系统性变革的城市地区至关重要，包括那些有资格通过城市系统倡议获得 NSF 支持的地区。 该项目的费用分摊约占 NSF 捐款的 10%。 ***
