The Center for Science Education at Education Development Center, Inc. (EDC) proposes an invitational conference to define, describe and examine existing models for using elementary science specialists; explore the educational, policy and financial issues that impact the use of science specialists; and most importantly, develop a research agenda to assess the quality and effectiveness of specialist-managed elementary science programs on student outcomes. Existing literature about the role and impact of science specialists is limited. What exists focuses primarily on descriptions of various models and debates about their relative merits. Although many school districts employ different models for using science specialists as a part of their elementary science program, there currently is little about the effectiveness of any of these models in enhancing student science learning.

教育发展中心（EDC）的科学教育中心提议召开一次邀请会议，以确定、描述和审查使用初级科学专家的现有模式；探索影响科学专家使用的教育、政策和财务问题；最重要的是，制定一项研究议程，以评估专家管理的基础科学项目对学生成绩的质量和有效性。关于科学专家的作用和影响的现有文献是有限的。现有的内容主要集中在对各种模型的描述和对其相对优点的争论上。尽管许多学区采用不同的模式来使用科学专家作为其基础科学课程的一部分，但目前这些模式在提高学生科学学习方面的有效性几乎没有。
