Issue-Oriented Elementary Science: Leadership Project/Implementation Project

小行星9554163 拟议的39个月项目（从1996年4月1日开始）将在10个学区实施化学品、健康、环境和我（CHEM）项目。 化学项目是科学的劳伦斯大厅公众理解计划（SEPUP）的科学教育的一部分。 拟议的项目将结合教师领导的联合收割机夏季领导会议和其他教师的地区项目运行经验，将为来自10个学区的630名教师和10名学校管理人员以及37 000名学生提供服务。 该项目将为每个合作学区提供为期三年的面向问题的基础科学方面的持续支持和领导力培训。 当地科学导师、受过培训的教师领导和项目工作人员的持续地区内援助，以及当地行政部门的承诺，将为改善每个合作学区的科学教育建立所需的气候和基础设施。 这一努力长期成功的关键是：（1）通过他们的领导能力以及他们为当地使用而改编和设计的教学材料，继续发展教师领导者作为变革的推动者;（2）伙伴地区更高程度地采用或增加他们对以材料为中心的科学和以问题为导向的科学的承诺。

9554163 Thier The proposed 39-month project (starting on 1 April 1996) will implement the Chemicals, Health, Environment, and Me (CHEM) project in ten school districts. The CHEM project is part of the Science Education for Public Understanding Program (SEPUP) of the Lawrence Hall of Science. The proposed project will combine summer leadership conferences for teacher-leaders and in-district project-run experiences for other teachers that will serve 630 teachers and 10 school administrators and 37,000 students from ten school districts. The project will provide three years of ongoing support and leadership training in issue-oriented elementary science to each partner school district. The continuous in-district assistance by the local science mentors, the trained teacher-leaders, and the project staff, together with the commitment of the local administration, will establish the climate and infrastructure required to improve science education in each of the partner school districts. Critical to the long-term success of this effort are: (1) the continuing development of teacher-leaders as agents of change through their leadership and their adaptation and design of instructional materials for local use and (2) the higher degree to which partner districts adopt or increase their commitment to materials-centered science generally and issue-oriented science specifically.
