Reaching Science and Special Education Teachers: On-Line and In-Person

接触科学和特殊教育教师：教育发展学院(EEC/AED)教育公平中心正在开发在线和面对面的方式，为残疾学生提供有关探究性科学的重要信息和教学策略。目标受众是K-4科学和特殊教育教师。该项目的总体目标是使K-4年级的残疾学生能够充分参与科学，学习技能培养活动，并获得对科学的积极态度，这可能会影响以后的学校和职业选择。该项目是与特殊儿童委员会(CEC)和残疾学生科学教育(SESD)合作开展的，SESD是一个国家科学教师协会(NSTA)关联小组。核心活动包括在网上和在国家会议上举办的专业发展研讨会。这些研讨会建立在NSF资助的、可访问的、基于标准的科学活动计划的基础上，该计划包括针对残疾学生的修改。研讨会包括策略、活动和资源，以帮助参与的教师提供基本的科学技能，并向残疾学生及其家长传授Iacan Dola对STEM的态度，从最早的年级开始。与美国科学促进会(AAAS)和国家残疾儿童和青年信息中心(NICHCY)合作，正在与美国科学促进会(AAAS)和国家残疾儿童和青年信息中心(NICHCY)合作，对教师和家长进行进一步的外联和传播。该项目向科学和特殊教育教师提供工具，从低年级开始向残疾学生介绍以探究为基础的科学。因此，残疾学生将有更好的机会在高年级的科学方面取得好成绩，并在未来职业生涯的所有或部分方面使用科学和技术技能。它还在推动科学和特殊教育领域的知识进步。通过一种独特的在线和面对面的专业研讨会相结合的方式，它正在向科学教育工作者提供有关残疾学生的需求和能力的信息，并向特殊教育工作者提供关于科学重要性的信息。项目负责人和顾问在科学教育、特殊教育、包容性、专业发展、家长参与和公平方面具有专家资格；工作人员和顾问包括残疾人。正在进行评价，并随时向外地通报经验教训。该项目通过与以下国家组织的合作，接触到数千名科学和特殊教育教师：CEC、SESD/NSTA、AAAS、NICHCY等。EEC/AED将充分利用可通过这些国家和区域组织接触到的大量教师和家长，以及将向目标受众提供直接接触的组织的各种在线和面对面资源。

Reaching Science and Special Education Teachers: On-Line and In-Person is being developed by the Educational Equity Center at the Academy for Educational Development (EEC/AED) to provide vital information and teaching strategies around inquiry-based science for students with disabilities. The target audience is K-4 science and special education teachers. The overarching goal is to enable students withdisabilities in grades K-4 to fully participate in science, learn skill-building activities, and gain positive attitudes about science that may influence later school and career choices.The project is a collaboration with the Council for Exceptional Children (CEC) and Science Education for Students with Disabilities (SESD), a National Science Teachers Association (NSTA) Associated Group. Core activities include professional development seminars offered on-line and at national conferences. The seminars build on an NSF-funded, accessible, standards-based science activity program that includes modifications for students with disabilities. Seminars include strategies, activities, and resources to help participating teachers provide essential science skills and impart in students with disabilities - and their parents - a iacan dola attitude about STEM, beginning in the earliest grades. Further outreach and dissemination to teachers and parents is being conducted in partnership with The American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) and the National Information Center for Children and Youth with Disabilities (NICHCY) at AED.This project is providing science and special education teachers with the tools to bring inquiry-based science to students with disabilities, beginning in the early grades. As a result, students with disabilities will have a better chance of doing well in science in the upper grades, and in using science and technical skills in all or some aspect of their future careers. It is also advancing knowledge across the fields of science and special education. Through a unique combination of on-line and in-person professional seminars, it is bringing information about the needs and capabilities of students with disabilities to science educators, and information about the importance of science to special educators. Project leaders and advisors have expert qualifications in terms of science education, special education, inclusion, professional development,parent involvement, and equity; and staff and advisors include people with disabilities. Evaluation is being conducted, and the field is being kept informed about lessons learned. This project is reaching thousands of science and special education teachers through collaborations with national organizations with extensiveoutreach: CEC, SESD/NSTA, AAAS, NICHCY, among others. EEC/AED will take full advantage of the enormous number of teachers and parents that can be reached through these national and regional organizations, and the variety of resources, both on-line and in-person, of the organizations that will provide direct access to the target audience.
