Focus on Science

9354692 LoPresti Wheelock学院正在进行一个为期三年的项目“关注科学”，该项目与“波士顿和剑桥数学和科学教师教育”（团队- bc）的职前合作项目同时进行。通过TEAMS-BC，会德洛克学院的教师正在开发新的课程，并修改现有的科学和数学教育课程，以便为小学和幼儿教育的学生开发一个协调的科学和数学课程。此外，会德丰正与波士顿和剑桥的专业发展学校密切合作，以确保学生的实地经验支持他们对儿童科学和数学的学习。该项目侧重于在正在变化的课程中实施密集的形成性评估过程，以记录和分析学生的成长，并开发嵌入新课程设计的评估实践。该项目还支持与剑桥的马丁·路德·金学校合作，建立一所专业发展学校。教师和教职员工正在密切合作，以建立学校的科学教学能力，为学生提供临床经验，以提高他们向儿童教授科学的技能，并向学校社区伸出援手。

9354692 LoPresti Wheelock College is undertaking a three year project, Focus on Science, which runs simultaneously with the pre-service collaborative project Teacher Education Addressing Mathematics and Science in Boston and Cambridge (TEAMS-BC). Through TEAMS-BC, Wheelock College faculty are developing new courses and revising existing courses in science and mathematics education in order to develop a coordinated science and mathematics program for students in elementary and early childhood education. In addition, Wheelock is working closely with professional development schools in Boston and Cambridge to assure that the field experiences of students support their learning in science and mathematics for children. This project focuses on the implementation of an intensive formative assessment process within the courses undergoing change, to both document and analyze student growth, and to develop assessment practices that are embedded into the design of the new courses. This project also supports collaborative efforts with the Martin Luther King, Jr. School in Cambridge to build a professional development school. Teachers and faculty are working closely together to build the science teaching capacity at the school, to provide the clinical experience for students that will enhance their skills in teaching science to children, and to reach out to the community of the school.
