9705735 Burrow该项目计划与KCTS公共电视台、劳巴赫扫盲行动和全国城市扫盲联盟发展伙伴关系，以制定一项实施计划，以促进市中心高危家庭的更高科学素养。这些组织接触到很少参加正式和非正式科学学习计划的家庭。将为扫盲提供者制定一项培训设计，使其将科学扫盲材料作为其成人扫盲课程的一个组成部分。将开发专门为识字率低的成年人设计的视频和印刷材料。这些应该是简单、有趣和有效的方式来培养他们自己和他们的孩子对科学和学习的热爱。将与提供者和家长一起进行前端评估重点小组，以深入了解家长和扫盲提供者的具体需求和一般期望，并就拟议的项目材料获得反馈。

9705735 Burrows This project plans to develop a partnership with KCTS Public Television, Laubach Literacy Action, and the National Alliance of Urban Literacy Coalitions to develop an implementation plan to promote higher science literacy in at-risk families in inner city settings. These organizations reach families that seldom participate in formal and informal science learning programs. A training design for literacy providers to use science literacy materials as an integrated part of their adult literacy curriculum will be developed. Video and print materials that are specifically designed for low literacy adults will be developed. These are expected to be simple, fun, and effective ways to foster the love of science and learning in themselves and their children. Front-end evaluation focus groups will be conducted with providers and parents to gain insights into the specific needs and general expectations of the parents and literacy providers, and to get feedback on the proposed project materials.
