The National Science Teachers Association will host two, one-day conferences on Science and English Language Learners, focusing on the urgent need to provide access and opportunity to learn science to this group of students who constitute the fastest growing segment of K-12 students in the United States. These conferences will be presented in association with the NSTA Area Conference, scheduled for Baltimore in November, 2006, and the NSTA 2007 National Conference in St. Louis. They will feature NSF-funded projects that address demographic, economic, sociocultural and professional perspectives on how science and learning English intersect and overlap. A growing and promising body of research on student learning when science and English are taught in a mutually supportive environment will be presented, highlighting best practices for science education for English Language Learners. An important and heartening impact of that research shows that science can be taught in ways that promote access and achievement for all students, but make the critical difference for students in linguistically and culturally diverse classrooms. The audience at each conference is expected to be 400 K-12 teachers, science supervisors, school administrators and professional development specialists. The conferences and the subsequent dissemination of their products will provide timely and much needed guidance to districts, schools and teachers on how best to prepare all students in our increasingly diverse classrooms to meet the science learning requirements of No Child Left Behind.

美国国家科学教师协会将举办两次为期一天的科学和英语学习者会议，重点是迫切需要为这群学生提供学习科学的机会和机会，这群学生是美国K-12学生中增长最快的部分。 这些会议将与定于2006年11月在巴尔的摩举行的NSTA地区会议和在圣路易斯举行的NSTA 2007年全国会议一起举行。 他们将以NSF资助的项目为特色，这些项目涉及人口、经济、社会文化和专业角度，探讨科学和英语学习如何交叉和重叠。 当科学和英语在一个相互支持的环境中教授时，将提出一个关于学生学习的日益增长和有前途的研究机构，突出了英语学习者科学教育的最佳实践。 这项研究的一个重要和令人振奋的影响表明，科学可以以促进所有学生获得和取得成就的方式教授，但对语言和文化多样性教室的学生来说，这是至关重要的。 每场会议的观众预计将有400名K-12教师、科学主管、学校管理人员和专业发展专家。 会议及其产品的后续传播将为地区，学校和教师提供及时和急需的指导，指导他们如何最好地为我们日益多样化的教室中的所有学生做好准备，以满足“不让一个孩子掉队”的科学学习要求。
