Reaching Science and Special Education Teachers: On-Line and In-Person is being developed by the Educational Equity Center at the Academy for Educational Development (EEC/AED) to provide vital information and teaching strategies around inquiry-based science for students with disabilities. The target audience is K-4 science and special education teachers. The overarching goal is to enable students withdisabilities in grades K-4 to fully participate in science, learn skill-building activities, and gain positive attitudes about science that may influence later school and career choices.The project is a collaboration with the Council for Exceptional Children (CEC) and Science Education for Students with Disabilities (SESD), a National Science Teachers Association (NSTA) Associated Group. Core activities include professional development seminars offered on-line and at national conferences. The seminars build on an NSF-funded, accessible, standards-based science activity program that includes modifications for students with disabilities. Seminars include strategies, activities, and resources to help participating teachers provide essential science skills and impart in students with disabilities - and their parents - a iacan dola attitude about STEM, beginning in the earliest grades. Further outreach and dissemination to teachers and parents is being conducted in partnership with The American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) and the National Information Center for Children and Youth with Disabilities (NICHCY) at AED.This project is providing science and special education teachers with the tools to bring inquiry-based science to students with disabilities, beginning in the early grades. As a result, students with disabilities will have a better chance of doing well in science in the upper grades, and in using science and technical skills in all or some aspect of their future careers. It is also advancing knowledge across the fields of science and special education. Through a unique combination of on-line and in-person professional seminars, it is bringing information about the needs and capabilities of students with disabilities to science educators, and information about the importance of science to special educators. Project leaders and advisors have expert qualifications in terms of science education, special education, inclusion, professional development,parent involvement, and equity; and staff and advisors include people with disabilities. Evaluation is being conducted, and the field is being kept informed about lessons learned. This project is reaching thousands of science and special education teachers through collaborations with national organizations with extensiveoutreach: CEC, SESD/NSTA, AAAS, NICHCY, among others. EEC/AED will take full advantage of the enormous number of teachers and parents that can be reached through these national and regional organizations, and the variety of resources, both on-line and in-person, of the organizations that will provide direct access to the target audience.

教育发展学院（EEC/AED）的教育公平中心正在开发“接触科学和特殊教育教师：在线和面对面”，为残疾学生提供有关探究式科学的重要信息和教学策略。目标受众是K-4科学和特殊教育教师。总体目标是使K-4年级的残疾学生能够充分参与科学，学习技能建设活动，并获得对科学的积极态度，这可能会影响以后的学校和职业选择，该项目是与特殊儿童理事会和残疾学生科学教育（SESD），一个国家科学教师协会（NSTA）相关团体合作开展的。核心活动包括在线和在国家会议上举办的专业发展研讨会。研讨会建立在NSF资助的，无障碍的，基于标准的科学活动计划，包括残疾学生的修改。研讨会包括战略，活动和资源，以帮助参与教师提供基本的科学技能，并在残疾学生传授-和他们的父母-对干iacan dola的态度，从最早的年级开始。与美国科学促进协会和美国残疾儿童和青年国家信息中心合作，正在进一步向教师和家长推广和宣传该项目，该项目向科学和特殊教育教师提供工具，从低年级开始向残疾学生提供基于探究的科学。因此，残疾学生将有更好的机会在高年级学习科学，并在未来职业生涯的所有或某些方面使用科学和技术技能。它还在推动科学和特殊教育领域的知识。通过在线和面对面专业研讨会的独特组合，它正在向科学教育工作者提供有关残疾学生的需求和能力的信息，并向特殊教育工作者提供有关科学重要性的信息。项目负责人和顾问在科学教育、特殊教育、包容性、专业发展、家长参与和公平方面具有专家资格;工作人员和顾问包括残疾人。 正在进行评价，并不断向外地通报所吸取的经验教训。该项目通过与具有广泛影响力的国家组织合作，使数千名科学和特殊教育教师受益，这些组织包括：教育委员会、社会发展教育局/国家科学技术局、美国科学促进会、尼加拉瓜儿童和青少年研究所等。欧共体/AED将充分利用通过这些国家和区域组织可以接触到的大量教师和家长，以及直接接触目标受众的组织的各种在线和面对面资源。
