Planning for Project ASSIST: Achieving Systemic Support forImprovement of Science Teaching

这笔规划拨款将导致伊利诺伊州立大学提出一项全面的提案，以支持该地区科学教育的系统性变革。规划补助金汇集了来自学校、大学、教育服务中心的代表，以及其他对当地学校变革有经验或感兴趣的人。这个团队对成功的学校进行实地访问，并利用学校变革和科学教育方面的顾问来帮助制定一个更广泛的项目计划。为期一周的暑期研讨会被用来设计支持改善科学教育的战略。专题讨论会产生的报告旨在作为一项全面提案的基础，并供地方系统为其学校制定系统改革计划。规划补助金开始审查和汇编将导致教师加强建议的战略。费用分摊比例估计为17%

This planning grant will lead to a full proposal from Illinois State University to support systemic change in science education in the region. The planning grant brings together representatives from the schools, universities, Educational Service Centers, and others who have experience or interest in local school change. This team makes on-site visits to successful schools and uses consultants in school change and science education to help formulate a plan for a broader project. A one-week summer symposium is used to design strategies to support improvements in science education. The report generated by the symposium is intended to be used as a basis of a full proposal and for local systems to develop system change plans for their schools. The planning grant begins the examination and compilation of strategies that will lead to a Teacher Enhancement proposal. The cost sharing is estimated at 17%
