9818731SANDLERThis four-year implementation site project will: (1) increase the number of communities knowledgeable about NSF-supported exemplary K-12 science curricula; (2) establish networks among educators in these and other communities; (3) establish regional support centers (nodes) that will continue to provide support to communities beyond project funding; and (4), collaborate with publishers of NSF-supported curricula to develop new strategies for supporting school district curriculum implementation. A focus will be on underserved communities in both urban and rural areas.Specifically, the project has: (1) identified a national faculty to work with EDC and the nodes; (2) attained the support of eight publishers; (3) identified ten nodes -- Fayette County Public Schools, Lexington, KY; Jackson Public Schools, Jackson, MS; Portland Public Schools, Portland, OR; Pueblo School District 60, Pueblo, CO; South Bend Schools Corporation/Notre Dame University, South Bend, IN; The Keystone Project, Bozeman, MT; The Center for Excellence for Mathematics and Science Education at Black Hill University, Spearfish, SD; The Area Education Association, Clear Lake, IA; Upper Peninsula of Michigan Mathematics and Science Consortium; the University of Idaho, Moscow, ID; and the Panhandle Area Education Consortium, Chipley, FL. Each node has a group of collaborators that include the Eisenhower Regional Consortia, local universities, museums, businesses, and other science-rich organizations. Over four years, the nodes will serve 375-500 communities.EDC will provide each node with core activities including materials libraries, summer institutions, resource and product development and electronic communication.The evaluation will be conducted by Policy Studies Associates and will examine district participation (criteria for underserved), adoption of NSF-funded curricula, evidence of sound implementation, and quality of EDC activities.

9818731桑德勒这个为期四年的实施地点项目将：（1）增加了解NSF支持的示范性K-12科学课程的社区数量;（2）在这些社区和其他社区的教育工作者之间建立网络;（3）建立区域支持中心（节点），将继续为社区提供项目资金以外的支持;及（4）与国家体育基金会支持课程的出版商合作，制定新的策略，以支持学区课程的实施。 重点将放在城市和农村地区得不到充分服务的社区，具体而言，该项目已：（1）确定了一个与教育发展中心和节点合作的国家教师队伍;（2）获得了八个出版商的支持;（3）确定了十个节点-肯塔基州列克星敦的费耶特县公立学校;密西西比州杰克逊的杰克逊公立学校;俄勒冈州波特兰的波特兰公立学校;普韦布洛学区60，普韦布洛，科罗拉多州;南本德学校公司/圣母大学，南本德，印第安纳州;基石项目，博兹曼，蒙大拿州;卓越的数学和科学教育中心在黑山大学，斯皮尔菲什，SD;地区教育协会，清澈的湖水，爱荷华州;密歇根州上半岛数学和科学联盟;爱达荷州大学，莫斯科，ID;和Panhandle地区教育联盟，Chipley，FL。每个节点都有一组合作者，包括艾森豪威尔地区联盟、当地大学、博物馆、企业和其他科学丰富的组织。 在四年的时间里，社区发展中心将为375-500个社区提供服务。社区发展中心将为每个社区提供核心活动，包括材料图书馆、暑期机构、资源和产品开发以及电子通信。评估将由政策研究协会进行，并将检查地区参与（服务不足的标准）、国家科学基金会资助的课程的采用情况、良好实施的证据以及社区发展中心活动的质量。
