The Elementary Teacher as Science Instructor

作为科学指导员的小学教师将在28个月的项目中提高对来自25所城市小学的25对小学硕士教师教授科学过程和探究的信心。两个为期三周的暑期工作坊将包括天文学和物理学、生物学和地质学的研究。在讲习班期间，教师将制定一项科学领导计划，将他们的学习纳入课堂，并在校长的帮助下，制定机制，使他们在学校担任科学资源教师的角色。在学年期间，将通过每月两天的放假、周六上午与PI和波士顿大学其他工作人员的互动、课堂访问和热线电话来支持教师实施他们的计划。

The Elementary School Teacher as a Science Instructor will improve the confidence to teach science process and inquiry of 25 pairs of elementary Master Teachers from 25 urban elementary schools in a 28 month program. Two three-week summer sequences of workshops will include the study of Astronomy and Physics, Biology and Geology. During the workshops teachers will develop a science leadership plan to incorporate their learning into the classroom and, with the aid of their principals, develop the mechanisms by which they will assume the role of science resource teacher in their schools. During the academic year the teachers will be supported in implementing their plans by release from teaching for two days each month and by interacting with the PI and other staff from Boston University on Saturday mornings, classroom visits, and a hotline.
