"Teachers Helping Teachers Teach Science Inquiry: The 'Just ASK' Project" develops and evaluates a new generation of adapted science kit (ASK) resources and distance delivery strategies. The goals of the project are to form communities of practice among rural science teachers using web-based resources that allow audio and video connections in real time and to conduct research that examines the impact of these communities of practice on school programs, teaching practices, and student achievement. The project develops and tests teacher adaptations of FOSS, Insights, and STS lessons to make them more appropriate for students in rural schools. The project also develops and tests web-based distance education strategies that enable video, audio, and print interactions among participating teachers and with professional development specialists as well as teacher-to-teacher exchange of lesson plans and other instructional materials over the web. The target audience is elementary teachers, grades K6, in nine rural schools located in Iowa and Missouri. The products of the project will be a vetted set of Adapting Science Kits lessons and accompanying classroom videos specific to FOSS, Insights, and STS kits to be posted on the web and easily accessible by teachers; the formation of a web-based community of practice facilitated by an Elluminate Live portal where ASK activities and classroom videos can be accessed and posted and where teachers can interact with expert ASK teachers and, eventually, with other teachers nation wide; and empirical evidence addressing the impact of ASK communities of practice on school district programs, teachers' classroom practices and student achievement in nine field test school districts.

“教师帮助教师教授科学探究：”Just ASK“项目”开发并评估了新一代的适应性科学工具包（ASK）资源和远程交付策略。该项目的目标是利用网络资源在农村科学教师中形成实践社区，这些资源允许真实的音频和视频连接，并进行研究，检查这些实践社区对学校课程，教学实践和学生成绩的影响。该项目开发和测试教师对自由和开放源码软件、见解和STS课程的改编，使其更适合农村学校的学生。该项目还开发和测试基于网络的远程教育战略，使视频，音频和印刷互动参与教师之间和专业发展专家，以及教师对教师的交流课程计划和其他教学材料在网络上。目标受众是位于爱荷华州和密苏里州的九所农村学校的K6年级小学教师。该项目的产品将是一套经过审查的适应性科学工具包课程和随附的专门针对自由和开放源码软件、见解和STS工具包的课堂录像，将张贴在网上，便于教师查阅;形成一个基于网络的实践社区，通过Elluminate Live门户网站提供便利，可以访问和发布ASK活动和课堂视频，教师可以与专家ASK教师进行互动，最终，与其他教师全国范围内;和经验证据解决的影响，ASK社区的实践对学区计划，教师的课堂实践和学生成绩在九个实地测试学区。
