Mississippi State University will identify characteristics of exemplary African American elementary science teachers and examine the role of mentoring on beginning elementary science teachers and their students. The project goals are: 1) to learn from exemplary African American science teachers about how to better articulate students' cultural knowledge with science disciplines; (2) to expand a knowledge base about the socio-cultural context of science learning, culturally relevant science content and pedagogical skills, and conditions for promoting teaching and learning particularly for African American students at the elementary school level; (3) to develop a knowledge base about mentoring and supporting beginning science teachers, and (4) to advance an empirically informed national discussion about how to address the science gaps in high stakes science achievement tests.

密西西比州立大学将确定模范非裔美国基础科学教师的特征，并研究指导对初级基础科学教师及其学生的作用。该项目的目标是：1)向模范的非裔美国人科学教师学习如何更好地将学生的文化知识与科学学科联系起来；(2)扩大关于科学学习的社会文化背景、与文化相关的科学内容和教学技能以及促进教与学的条件的知识库，特别是对小学的非裔美国学生；(3)建立一个关于指导和支持初任科学教师的知识库，以及(4)推动一场关于如何在高风险的科学成绩测试中解决科学差距的经验丰富的全国性讨论。
