9452884 Radford北路易斯安那州的三个教区，Caddo， Claiborne和Bienville，以及路易斯安那理工大学将合作制定全系统的计划，以启动科学教学的系统性改革。由教师、监督员、校长、教育监、大学科学及科学教育系教师、地区服务中心所长、企业和民间人士组成的运营委员会将负责地区事业。额外的堂区人员将为每个堂区服务。为了对科学改革做出明智的决策，将收集有关成功的科学教学策略的数据。该项目将研究各种科学教学形式，如基于工具包的科学教学、综合科学计划、基于技术的教学和适当的评估策略。全国公认的专家将在涉及所有三个教区的总体规划会议上讨论上述领域。选定的堂区代表和大学人员将参观由指导委员会选出的模范计划。利用在科学改革中所学到的知识，每个任务小组将制定一个具体的计划来实施所选择的教学计划，为教区带来系统的科学改革。

9452884 Radford Three North Louisiana parishes, Caddo, Claiborne, and Bienville, and Louisiana Tech University will collaborate to develop system- wide plans to initiate systemic reform in science instruction. A steering committee consisting of teachers, supervisors, principals, superintendents, university science and science education faculty, the regional service center director, and business and lay persons will oversee the project at the regional level. Additional parish personnel will serve on a task force for each parish. In order to make informed decisions about science reform, data will be collected on successful science instructional strategies. The project will investigate varied science instructional formats such as kit-based science instruction, integrated science programs, technology-based instruction, and appropriate assessment strategies. Nationally recognized experts will address the above areas at general planning meetings involving all three parishes. Selected parish representatives and university personnel will visit exemplary programs chosen by the steering committee. Using what is learned about reform in science, each task force will develop a specific plan for implementation of the chosen instructional programs to bring about systemic reform in science for the parish.
