An Advanced Elementary Science Leadership Institute

9552588 Sprague这个项目是第一步会议的后续。目前的提议是为第二次会议“下一步研究所”（Next Step Institute '95）寻求资金。70个团队，每队4人，将接受为期三天半的研究。参赛队将从全国各地选出，并且都将是美国科学材料中心协会（ASMC）的成员。该研究所将有两个主要组成部分，第一个面向已经参与科学教育系统支持的地区和财团，他们需要提高技能并跟上最新的改革努力。该部分的参与者将参加两个主题演讲，四个专门的部分，这将允许不同的团队成员更充分地参与一个重点主题，如；共享愿景，螺母和螺栓，评估和标准，专业成长和团队建设。此外，将留出时间进行交叉重点，在此期间，参与者将能够分享信息，以了解他们没有参加的演示文稿，并有时间进行团队规划。研究所的第二个组成部分将是根据从“第一阶段”和“下一步”会议收集的数据所作的需求评估，制定一项长期计划和一项建议。所需经费为$84 568，费用分摊额估计为$105 250。

9552588 Sprague This project is a follow up to the conference entitled First Step. The current proposal seeks funds for a second conference, the Next Step Institute '95. Seventy teams of 4 members each, will be accepted for a three and one half day institute. Teams will be selected from across the nation, and will all be members of The Association of Science Materials Centers (ASMC). The Institute will have two major components the first for districts and consortia, already involved in systemic support for science education, who need to upgrade their skills and keep current with the latest reform efforts. Participants in this component will attend two keynote presentations, four specialized strands which will allow different team members to participate more fully in a focused topic such as; Sharing the Vision, Nuts and Bolts, Assessment and Standards, Professional Growth and Team Building. In addition time will be set aside for cross strand highlights during which participants will be able to share information in order to learn about presentations they have not attended and time for team planning. The second component of the Institute will be to produce a long term plan and a proposal based on a needs assessment from data gathered from both the First and Next Step conferences. The request is for $84,568 with cost share estimated as $105,250.
