This resource development project would produce two professional development modules for middle school science teachers, one on Force and Motion (emphasizing teaching English learners) and the second on Energy and Chemical Change (emphasizing the integration of literacy). Guides for staff developers would accompany the resources. These modules will incorporate design principles used in a previously developed set of elementary science teacher resources. The pilot and field test populations include teachers of diverse student populations. Science content, ELL and literacy experts are in included in the review process. The leadership team benefits from the prior development work. A commercial publisher has expressed interest in publishing the resources.

这一资源开发项目将为中学科学教师制作两个专业发展模块，一个是关于力和运动（强调教英语学习者），另一个是关于能量和化学变化（强调识字的结合）。 为开发人员提供的指南将与资源一起提供。 这些模块将采用设计原则，在以前开发的一套小学科学教师资源。 试点和实地测试人群包括不同学生群体的教师。 科学内容、ELL和扫盲专家也被纳入审查进程。 领导团队从之前的开发工作中受益。 一家商业出版商表示有兴趣出版这些资源。
