9355532百特整合科学概念提升了尤金学区4J区K-8教师的科学素养和教学水平。教师在创造和呈现建构主义的、以活动为基础的教学方面培养技能，这种教学将科学与其他学科相结合。第一年，16名硕士教师与项目工作人员、威拉米特科技中心和俄勒冈州立大学的教育学专家以及俄勒冈大学的科学家一起参加了为期15天的暑期研讨会。在接下来的几年里，这些大师教师和项目工作人员与另外72名指导教师合作，发展教授同龄人的技能和知识。讲习班活动包括以具体科学概念为重点的实践科学调查、以概念为基础的示范科学课程的批判性分析，以及学员设计用于课堂的以概念为基础的科学单元。定期安排的后续会议支持教师执行这些单元。

9355532 Baxter Integrating Science Concepts enhances the scientific literacy and teaching of K- 8 teachers in Eugene School District 4J. Teachers develop skills in creating and presenting constructivist, activity-based instruction that integrates science with other disciplines. The first year 16 master teachers participate in a 15 day summer workshop with project staff, Willamette Science and Technology Center and Oregon State University experts in pedagogy, and University of Oregon scientists. In the following years these master teachers and project staff work with an additional 72 mentor teachers to develop the skills and knowledge to teach peers. Workshop activities include hands-on scientific investigations focusing on particular science concepts, critical analysis of exemplary concept-based science curricula, and participants' design of concept-based science units to use in classrooms. Regularly scheduled follow-up sessions support teachers in implementing these units.
