Mother Goose Cares about Math and Science: An Integrated Course of Science and Mathematics for Child Care Providers

佛蒙特州图书中心正在开发“鹅妈妈关心数学和科学”，这是一门针对学龄前儿童的科学过程技能和基于标准的数学概念的综合课程。 将根据这一课程为儿童保育提供者编制一个大学学分课程。 该课程提高科学和数学素养，并将NCTM标准和科学过程技能纳入与儿童的日常互动的能力。 还向参与者提供了向父母传达这些概念的重要性的工具。 该课程将在三年内向佛蒙特州和费城市中心的600名儿童保育工作者提供。 招聘将包括在城市和农村社区的中心，家庭和学校为基础的设置提供者。 参加者将获得实施课程教学法所需的书籍、课程指南、工具和操作工具。 将编制的材料包括一个分七个部分的培训，将用于在全国宣传该项目。参加者将收到一个全面的培训包，可用于培训他们的同龄人。

The Vermont Center for the Book is developing "Mother Goose Cares about Math and Science," an integrated curriculum of science process skills and standards-based mathematics concepts for preschool children. A college credit course will be developed for childcare providers based on this curriculum. The course increases science and math literacy and the ability to incorporate NCTM standards, and science process skills, into daily interactions with children. Participants are also provided with the tools to communicate the importance of these concepts to parents. The course will be delivered to 600 childcare workers in Vermont and inner-city Philadelphia over a three-year period. Recruitment will include providers in center-, home- and school-based settings in both urban and rural communities. Participants will be provided with books, Curriculum Guides, tools and manipulatives needed to implement the course pedagogy. Materials to be developed include a seven-segment training, which will be used to disseminate the project nationally. Participants will receive a comprehensive training package that can be used to train their peers.
