9355537在四个地点中的每个地点，两个卫星区将被添加到爱荷华州科学与航天中心项目中。最初的四个地点是梅森城、达文波特、查里顿和克雷斯顿。将提供全州覆盖的六个新地点是查尔斯城、汉普顿、丹尼森、约翰斯顿、爱荷华城和费尔菲尔德。后两个地点将测试爱荷华州SS&amp；C型号的可携带性。将完成6-8年级的框架和方法，并继续开展从9-10年级开始的工作。在这四个地点，每个地点都有30名教师参加。随着中学课程的结束，将有6-8名不同的领导参与进来。九四至九五年度以九年级教师为主，而九五至九六年度则以十年级教师为主。在该项目的三年期间，将有120名6-10年级的教师参加。教师强化活动遵循爱荷华州Chautauqua在职教师的模式：每个地点举行为期两周的领导会议，包括来自每个地点和所有年级的教师；在每个地点为特定年级的所有教师举办为期3周的夏季讲习班，有来自前级和以下年级的代表教师参加；每个学年为地点领导人和其他人员举办两天课程；每个参与学校的特定年级的教师每周召开会议；每月举行为期两天的在职会议，每个地点的所有教师都有参加。作为项目评估的一部分，学生的学习通过测试前和测试后的方法在6个领域进行评估。费用分担支持来自当地学校、中学学区、爱荷华州公用事业协会、其他行业和爱荷华州大学。

9355537 Yager At each of four sites two satellite districts will be added to the Iowa SS&C project. The four original sites are Mason City, Davenport, Chariton and Creston. The six new sites which will provide statewide coverage areCharles City, Hampton, Denison, Johnston, Iowa City and Fairfield. These latter sites will test the transportability of the Iowa SS&C model. Frameworks and approaches will be completed for grades 6-8 and continue the work started in grades 9-10. At each of the four sites 30 teachers will participate. Different leaders 6-8 will be involved as the middle school programs are completed. Ninth grade teachers will be the major focus for 1994-95 and tenth grade teachers for 1995-96. Over the three year period of the project 120 teachers in grades 6-10 will participate. The Teacher Enhancement activities follow the Iowa Chautauqua inservice model: a two week leadership conference including teachers from each site and all grade levels; a 3-week summer workshop at each site for all teachers at a given grade level, with representative teachers from preceding and following grades; two day courses each academic semester for site leaders and other personnel; weekly meetings of teachers at specific grade levels in each participating school; and, monthly 2-day inservice meetings involving all teachers at each site. As part of the project evaluation student learning is assessed in 6-domains via pre- and post-test methods. The cost-sharing support comes from local schools, intermediate school districts, the Iowa Utility Association, other industries and the University of Iowa.
