ESI 9731316 This Local Systemic Change proposal is submitted by a partnership involving 5 school districts in collaboration with scientists and science educators from the University of Rhode Island. The project will offer high quality professional development to 350 teachers, grades K-8, in 29 schools. Ten Kindergarten Science Resource teachers will be among these participants. Inquiry based kits from well established curriculum projects, FOSS and STC, have been selected for implementation grades K-6 and will be delivered to teachers and refurbished by the regional instructional materials Resource Center used by the KITES project. The extension of the common science curriculum to grades 7 and 8 has been accomplished in partnership with high school science department chairs and middle school science teachers. The middle school curriculum changes will be led by a group of 10 middle school science teachers exploring the extension of the common science curriculum into grades 7 and 8, with SEPUP instructional materials being considered for implementation. Science mentors recruited from the university and the private sector will partner with elementary teachers. The project will have significant impact on elementary and secondary teacher preparation as materials and curriculum used with the preservice teachers will be adapted for use in science methods courses. Computers and connections are available in all five districts to facilitate networking among teachers. The request is for $1,047, 908 for 5 years with cost sharing estimated as $1,166,823.

ESI 9731316 这个地方系统性变革提案是由一个涉及5个学区的伙伴关系与来自罗得岛大学的科学家和科学教育工作者合作提交的。 该项目将为29所学校的350名K-8年级教师提供高质量的专业发展。 十名幼儿园科学资源教师将在这些参与者中。 来自成熟课程项目FOSS和STC的基于探究的工具包已被选择用于K-6年级的实施，并将交付给教师，并由KITES项目使用的区域教学材料资源中心进行翻新。 与高中科学系主任和中学科学教师合作，将普通科学课程扩展到7年级和8年级。 中学课程改革将由一个由10名中学科学教师组成的小组领导，探索将普通科学课程扩展到7年级和8年级，并考虑实施SEPUP教材。 从大学和私营部门招募的科学导师将与小学教师合作。 该项目将对小学和中学教师的准备产生重大影响，因为副教授使用的材料和课程将经过调整，用于科学方法课程。 所有五个地区都有计算机和连接，以促进教师之间的网络联系。 请拨经费为1 047 908美元，为期5年，分摊费用估计为1 166 823美元。
