Capital Region Science Education Partnership(CRSEP) LSC Project Assessment in the Service of Standards-based Science Teaching

[9911868]该提案是由首都地区科学教育伙伴关系（CRSEP）与奥尔巴尼州立大学合作提交的为期五年的LSC项目。合作伙伴包括斯克内克塔迪市学区、burn Hills-Ballston Lake中心学校、Watervliet城市学校和伯利恒中心学校，这是一个高度贫困的城市和郊区的结合。所有地区都已在小学至六年级实施了《儿童科学与技术》教材，目前正在对科学与技术单元进行实地测试。教师专业发展计划包括在教学服务中使用形成性评估。合作伙伴的核心信念是认识到评估不仅是衡量学生成绩的手段，而且是有效的当代科学教育改革的催化剂。应用研究部分将研究和评价这种独特的专业发展方法的有效性，并将制作供全国专业开发人员使用的材料。该项目将涉及四个区28所学校的427名科学年级K-8年级的教师。

9911868FALCOThe proposal is for a five-year LSC project submitted by the Capital Region Science Education Partnership (CRSEP) in collaboration with the University at Albany SUNY. The partnership includes the Schenectady City School District, Burnt Hills-Ballston Lake central Schools, Watervliet City Schools and Bethlehem Central Schools, a combination of high poverty urban and suburban districts. All the districts have implemented the instructional materials, Science and Technology for Children (STC) in grades K-6 and MS/STC units are currently being field-tested. The professional development program for teachers includes the use of formative assessment in the service of teaching. Central to the partners' belief is the tenet that recognizes assessment not only as a means to measure student achievement but also as a catalyst for effective contemporary science education reform. An applied research component will study and evaluate the effectiveness of this unique approach to professional development and materials for use by professional developers nationwide will be produced. The project will involve all 427 teachers of science grades K-8 in 28 schools in the four districts.
