DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Science & Health Education Partnership (SEP) of the UCSF, in strong collaboration with the San Francisco Unified School District (SFUSD), proposes a National Institutes of Health (NIH) SEPA, the Quattro Alliance for Science and Language Integration. Through the Quattro Alliance, SEP will both develop a professional development program in science and language and undertake a comprehensive research, documentation, and dissemination effort. Quattro will establish a professional community of four groups of participants - elementary school teachers, UCSF volunteers, elementary English language learning (ELL) students, and a collaborative of evaluators - to promote the integration of science learning and language development in elementary schools and to increase access to rigorous science learning for ELL students in SFUSD. Science learning in this effort refers to engaging students in the development of both scientific concepts and investigation skills. Language development here refers to student understanding of the forms, functions, and vocabulary of scientific discourse. This effort will be accomplished through four specific aims: 1) to develop strong scientist-teacher partnerships grounded in the research literature on science & language teaching and learning; 2) to provide ELL students with access to rigorous science learning and the development of the skills required for academic discourse in science; 3) to establish a generative community of science educators who will develop a Framework of goals and concrete classroom strategies that can be used to integrate science learning and language development; 4) to create dissemination materials based on the generation ofa Quattro Framework and evaluation data collected during the project to provide strategies for the integration of science and language to school districts and universities nationwide. These specific aims will be addressed through three integrated programmatic structures: 1) Quattro Beginning Coursework; 2) Quattro Science Clubs, and 3) the Quattro Professional Community. These efforts will employ three innovations in the integration of science and language learning. First, the project will engage significant numbers of both teachers and UCSF scientists and clinicians in partnership, a novel approach to the integration of language development and science learning. Second, this community of science educators will develop an evidence-based and accessible framework for integrating science and language teaching and learning in elementary school classrooms. Finally, the proposed effort will occur in a large, polylingual, urban school district. Documentation of the effort, analysis of evaluation data, and the generation of a framework for integrating science and language learning in the classroom will be assembled into dissemination materials designed for use by universities and school districts across the United States.

描述（由申请人提供）： 加州大学旧金山分校的科学与健康教育伙伴关系（SEP）与旧金山弗朗西斯科联合学区（SFUSD）密切合作，提出了美国国立卫生研究院（NIH）SEPA，即Quattro科学和语言整合联盟。通过Quattro联盟，SEP将制定科学和语言专业发展计划，并进行全面的研究，文献和传播工作。Quattro将建立一个由四组参与者组成的专业社区-小学教师，UCSF志愿者，小学英语语言学习（ELL）学生和评估人员的合作-以促进小学科学学习和语言发展的融合，并增加SFUSD ELL学生获得严格科学学习的机会。科学学习是指让学生参与科学概念和调查技能的发展。语言发展在这里 是指学生对科学语篇的形式、功能和词汇的理解。这一努力将通过四个具体目标来实现：1）在科学和语言教学研究文献的基础上，发展强有力的科学家-教师伙伴关系; 2）为ELL学生提供严格的科学学习和发展科学学术话语所需的技能; 3）建立一个科学教育者的生成社区，他们将制定一个目标框架和具体的课堂策略，可用于整合科学学习和语言发展; 4）根据Quattro框架的生成和项目期间收集的评估数据编写传播材料，为全国各学区和大学提供科学与语言相结合的战略。这些具体目标将通过三个综合方案结构来解决：1）Quattro开始课程; 2）Quattro科学俱乐部; 3）Quattro专业社区。这些努力将在科学和语言学习的整合中采用三项创新。首先，该项目将吸引大量的教师和UCSF科学家和临床医生合作，这是一种整合语言发展和科学学习的新方法。第二，这个科学教育工作者社区将开发一个基于证据的和可访问的框架，用于将科学和语言教学与小学课堂学习相结合。 最后，拟议的努力将发生在一个大的，多语言，城市学区。有关这一努力的文件、对评估数据的分析，以及在课堂上整合科学和语言学习的框架的生成，将被汇编成供美国各地大学和学区使用的传播材料。
