The Pueblo Project

这是一个为期三年的项目，旨在加强所有普韦布洛，科罗拉多市学校，K-5年级的物理科学教学，并实现公平的条件，使每个孩子都有充分的教育机会，而不管过去限制科学成就的因素。普韦布洛第60公立学区是西班牙裔儿童入学率最高的十所学校之一。72名领导教师将参加(1)夏季为期1周的公平培训，随后是为期3周的物理科学培训；(2)学年期间每月半天的研讨会，为课堂上使用工具包材料做准备；(3)在接下来的夏季，与校长一起参加为期一天的研讨会，为学校所有教师的科学服务计划；以及(4)在参与的第二年，在实施他们学校的科学服务计划。这个项目适合教师提升计划，因为它是一个全区范围的项目，旨在以实质性的方式加强所有地区学校领导教师的科学教学，因为它有效地解决了向儿童教授科学的公平问题。股权部分以美国国家科学基金会资助的SEER项目为蓝本，该项目在密苏里州圣路易斯进行。非国家科学基金分摊的费用约占要求国家科学基金支付的费用的21%。

This is a three-year project designed to enhance the physical science instruction in all of the Pueblo, Colorado city schools, grades K-5, and to achieve a condition of equity which allows full educational opportunity for every child regardless of factors which have limited science achievement in the past. The Pueblo Public School District No. 60 is among the highest ten in the nation in the enrollment of Hispanic children. Seventy-two Leader Teachers will participate (1) during the summer in a 1-week Equity Institute followed by a 3-week Physical Science Institute, (2) during the academic year in monthly half-day workshops to prepare for classroom use of kit materials, (3) during the following summer in a one-day workshop with their principals to plan for the science inservice of all the teachers in their schools, and (4) during the second year of participation, in the implementation of their school's science inservice plan. This project is appropriate for the Teacher Enhancement Program because it is a district-wide project designed to enhance in a substantive way the science teaching of Leader Teachers in all district schools, and because it effectively addresses equity issues in the teaching of science to children. The equity component is modeled on the successful, NSF-funded SEER project which was conducted in St. Louis, Missouri. Non-NSF cost-sharing is approximately 21% of the amount requested from NSF.
