STAFF Leadership for Rural School Districts

小行星9453938 三个农村学区河景、Skykomish和斯诺夸尔米山谷与太平洋科学中心合作，将改变学校小学阶段的科学教学方式。 该项目将帮助每个地区制定小学科学课程的新愿景，建立实施和维持愿景的机制，为所有小学教师提供工作人员发展，作为实施愿景的开端。 通过广泛的工作人员发展，30名被称为工作人员领导的教师和10名行政人员将成为所在地区的领导。 这些工作人员的领导与整个教学人员和社区的参与，利用最好的质量科学教育将开发全面的K-5课程，反映当前的研究和国家标准。 领导们将为每个地区的全体小学教职员工（共193名教师）提供40小时的科学教育人员发展。 这40个小时只是一个开始，因为地区已承诺为员工发展和材料管理提供持续的支持。 目标是为所有教师提供至少153小时的专业发展。 校长和管理人员将获得121小时，家长将获得32小时。 要求提供669 100美元的国家科学基金支助，费用分摊估计为1 004 576美元。

9453938 Schatz Three rural school districts Riverview, Skykomish and Snoqualmie Valley in conjunction with the Pacific Science Center will cooperatively change how science is taught at the elementary level in the schools. The project will prepare each district to develop a new vision for elementary science curriculum establish mechanisms to implement and sustain the vision provide staff development to all elementary teachers as a beginning to implement the vision. Through extensive staff development 30 teachers, called STAFF leaders, together with 10 administrators will become leaders in their districts. These STAFF leaders with the involvement of the entire teaching staff and the community, utilizing the best in quality science education will develop comprehensive K-5 curricula that reflects current research and national standards. The leaders will provide 40 hours of science education staff development to each district's entire elementary teaching staff, a total of 193 teachers. This 40 hours provides just the beginning, as districts have committed to developing ongoing support for both staff development and materials management. The goal is to provide all teachers with a minimum 153 hours of professional development. Principals and administrators will receive 121 hours and parents 32 hours. The request is for $669,100 of NSF support with cost share estimated at $1,004,576.
