The population of new Mexicans and first generation Mexican Americans is increasing dramatically in the southeastern United States. New teachers of science are finding it difficult to work with the new group that includes a large number of students from families of low socioeconomic status, with intermittent school attendance patterns in their home country and who lack literacy skills in Spanish as well. The conference and its accompanying Cyberconference are to establish a research agenda to strengthen pre-service education of teachers of science who teach this population of students. The study of existing programs elsewhere forms the basis for understanding their effectiveness, the differences between programs, and the knowledge and skill base needed by the teachers who serve this community. Conference participants include researchers in teacher education, science education, English as a Second Language, bilingual education, second language acquisition and learning, assessment, and sociology of education, as well as pre- and in-service teachers, administrators, and state department personnel from high need, Hispanic-serving school systems and schools. The diverse audience for the conference provides a forum for discussion of major priorities and research areas along with methodological concerns and strategies to implement the research in pre-service teacher education. A post-conference website provides a forum for the continuation of the discussion and the posting of research results.

新墨西哥人和第一代墨西哥裔美国人的人口在美国东南部急剧增加。新的科学教师发现很难与新的群体合作，其中包括大量来自社会经济地位低的家庭的学生，他们在本国的上学模式断断续续，而且缺乏西班牙语的读写能力。会议及其伴随的网络会议是建立一个研究议程，以加强职前教育的科学教师谁教这一人口的学生。对其他地方现有课程的研究构成了理解其有效性，课程之间差异以及服务于该社区的教师所需的知识和技能基础的基础。与会者包括教师教育，科学教育，英语作为第二语言，双语教育，第二语言习得和学习，评估和教育社会学的研究人员，以及来自高需求，西班牙裔服务学校系统和学校的职前和在职教师，管理人员和国务院人员。会议的不同观众提供了一个论坛，讨论主要的优先事项和研究领域沿着与方法的关注和战略，以实施在职前教师教育的研究。会后网站为继续讨论和公布研究成果提供了一个论坛。
