Focus on Science

9354692 LoPresti会德丰学院正在进行一个为期三年的项目，专注于科学，同时运行的服务前合作项目教师教育解决数学和科学在波士顿和剑桥（TEAMS-BC）。 通过TEAMS-BC，会德丰学院的教师正在开发新课程，并修改现有的科学和数学教育课程，以便为小学和幼儿教育的学生开发协调的科学和数学课程。 此外，会德丰还与波士顿和剑桥的专业发展学校密切合作，确保学生的实地经验支持他们在儿童科学和数学方面的学习。 该项目的重点是在正在发生变化的课程中实施密集的形成性评估过程，以记录和分析学生的成长，并开发嵌入到新课程设计中的评估实践。 该项目还支持与马丁·路德·金的合作。学校在剑桥建了一所专业发展学校。 教师和教师正在密切合作，以建立在学校的科学教学能力，为学生提供临床经验，将提高他们的技能，在教科学的儿童，并接触到学校的社区。

9354692 LoPresti Wheelock College is undertaking a three year project, Focus on Science, which runs simultaneously with the pre-service collaborative project Teacher Education Addressing Mathematics and Science in Boston and Cambridge (TEAMS-BC). Through TEAMS-BC, Wheelock College faculty are developing new courses and revising existing courses in science and mathematics education in order to develop a coordinated science and mathematics program for students in elementary and early childhood education. In addition, Wheelock is working closely with professional development schools in Boston and Cambridge to assure that the field experiences of students support their learning in science and mathematics for children. This project focuses on the implementation of an intensive formative assessment process within the courses undergoing change, to both document and analyze student growth, and to develop assessment practices that are embedded into the design of the new courses. This project also supports collaborative efforts with the Martin Luther King, Jr. School in Cambridge to build a professional development school. Teachers and faculty are working closely together to build the science teaching capacity at the school, to provide the clinical experience for students that will enhance their skills in teaching science to children, and to reach out to the community of the school.
