9618738 Kennedy This proposal is for a Local Systemic Change project to improve science teaching and learning in six school districts in Southwest Washington State. In the 5 year project, professional development will be customized to meet the specific needs of the 402 grades K-6 teachers who each will receive over 140 hours enhancement over a four year period to enable teachers to implement curricula and teaching units consistent with the best inquiry based science teaching. Various levels of support for the teacher participants will be provided by full time resource teachers and scientists and engineers from the community who will be partnered with teachers to act as a personal resource. Partners include faculty from science and education departments of Western Washington University, personnel from local business and industry (e.g. Hewlett packard and American Cyanamid) and the informal science community in nearby Portland, Oregon. A regional materials center will supply instructional materials such as FOSS, Insights and Science and Technology for Children (STC) for teachers. The request is for $1,205,593 with cost share estimated as $986,290 (82%).

9618738 Kennedy这个提案是一个地方系统改变项目，旨在改善华盛顿州西南部六个学区的科学教学。在这个为期5年的项目中，专业发展将根据402名K-6年级教师的具体需求进行定制，他们每人将在4年的时间里接受超过140小时的培训，使教师能够实施符合最佳探究性科学教学的课程和教学单元。来自社区的全职资源教师、科学家和工程师将为教师参与者提供不同程度的支持，他们将与教师合作，充当个人资源。合作伙伴包括来自西华盛顿大学科学和教育部门的教师，来自当地商业和工业（例如惠普和美国氰）的人员以及俄勒冈州波特兰市附近的非正式科学界。区域教材中心将为教师提供自由/开源软件、见解和儿童科技（STC）等教材。该请求为1,205,593美元，费用分摊估计为986,290美元（82%）。
