The goal of the four-year project is to revitalize and retain grades 3-8 teachers of the physical and space sciences, and in so doing improve the instructional quality and increase the overall quantity of these sciences for students. The collaborative effort, to further teacher retention and renewal nationwide, is managed by the Science Education Department (SED) at Harvard College Observatory and the McAuliffe/Challenger Center Learning Center (MCLC) at Framingham State College (FSC). The aim is to build on the pilot SEDNet project, which was an exploratory effort designed to revitalize and retain grades 3-8 teachers of the physical and space sciences, and in so doing improve the instructional quality and increase the overall quantity of these sciences for students. Three person teams from16 Challenger Learning Centers (CLC's) attend two, two-week SEDNet summer institutes in alternate years for in-depth professional development on inquiry science embedded in the physical science concepts that form the basis of the ARIES modules. These team leaders then provide (at their own locale) fee-based implementation workshops, which support teachers using ARIES modules with elementary and middle school students. Built in sustained support for teachers will include CLC-based focus meetings, distance learning opportunities and Web-site support. Over time the SEDNet programming will be self-sustaining. Evaluation includes summative pre/post test measures to assess changes in science content knowledge of both team leaders and second-tier teachers and some comparison testing of students in schools.

这个为期四年的项目的目标是振兴和留住三至八年级的物理和空间科学教师，从而提高教学质量，增加学生学习这些科学的总人数。 这项旨在促进全国教师保留和更新的合作努力由哈佛学院天文台的科学教育部（SED）和哈佛州立学院（FSC）的麦考利夫/挑战者中心学习中心（MCLC）管理。 其目的是以SEDNet试点项目为基础，该项目是一项探索性努力，旨在振兴和留住3-8年级的物理和空间科学教师，并在此过程中提高教学质量，增加学生学习这些科学的总体数量。来自16个挑战者学习中心（CLC）的三人团队每隔一年参加两个为期两周的SEDNet夏季研究所，深入研究嵌入在构成ARIES模块基础的物理科学概念中的探究科学的专业发展。 然后，这些团队负责人（在他们自己的地方）提供收费的实施讲习班，支持教师使用ARIES模块与小学和中学生。对教师的持续支持将包括以社区学习中心为基础的重点会议、远程学习机会和网站支持。 随着时间的推移，SEDNet的编程将能够自我维持。 评估包括总结性的前/后测试措施，以评估组长和二级教师在科学内容知识方面的变化，以及对学校学生的一些比较测试。
