The Partnership consisting of nine Silicon Valley school districts and San Jose State University's (SJSU) Colleges of Engineering and Education is taking a regional approach to improving science education by building institutional capacity, instructional quality, and student achievement in a major urban region. Sustainable institutional changes are created to support high quality science education. Science teaching and learning, grades K-8, is improved through a continuum of university preservice preparation, new teacher induction, on-going inservice and leadership development for over 1300 preservice students and inservice teachers. Establishing a career spanning professional development model, which includes rich content and methodology workshops, provided by regional leaders for professional development, retains a pool of well-prepared K-8 science teachers. Elementary and middle school students experience exemplary inquiry and laboratory-based lessons linked appropriately to math, literacy, and technology resulting in higher achievement. Engineering faculty devote time as consultants in middle schools. While they contribute scholarship and content background they also learn by viewing the variety of teaching strategies that serve diverse student needs. Undergraduate engineering education is improved through close collaboration between engineers and teachers. Preservice instruction at San Jose State University is improved with the development of a new MA degree in Elementary Education with a focus on science, which should be readily transportable.

由九个硅谷学区和圣何塞州立大学(SJSU)工程与教育学院组成的合作伙伴关系正在采取地区性方法，通过在主要城市地区建设机构能力、教学质量和学生成绩来改善科学教育。创建可持续的体制变革是为了支持高质量的科学教育。通过对1300多名职前学生和在职教师进行大学职前准备、新教师入职、持续在职和领导力发展的连续过程，K-8年级的科学教与学得到了改善。建立跨职业的专业发展模式，其中包括由区域领导人为专业发展提供的丰富内容和方法讲习班，保留了一批准备充分的K-8科学教师。中小学生体验了与数学、识字和技术适当挂钩的示范性探究和基于实验室的课程，从而获得更高的成绩。工科教师在中学期间担任顾问。在贡献奖学金和内容背景的同时，他们也通过观察服务于不同学生需求的各种教学策略来学习。通过工程师和教师之间的密切合作，本科工程教育得到了改善。圣何塞州立大学的职前教学随着新的基础教育硕士学位的发展而得到改善，该学位的重点是科学，该学位应该很容易移植。
