美国国家科学基金会请求为2004年11月17日在华盛顿西雅图举行的一次会议提供资金，以传播目前由美国国家科学基金会资助的有关K-8科学教学中读写能力整合的项目和研究成果。会议将有几个由美国国家科学基金会资助的项目向教师、校长、主管和专业发展提供者展示他们在实施设计、研究和有效专业发展实践方面的最新发现。会议的目标包括：1)为实践者和政策制定者提供有关在K-8科学课程中适当和有效地整合读写能力的科学研究；2)探索读写能力在科学教学中的多重角色；3)阐明培养教师将科学与读写能力联系起来的有效策略；4)突出科学-读写能力整合的最佳实践实例。该计划将包括全体会议和三个小时的讲习班。会议结束后，NSTA将发布几份出版物，其中包括主要会议主持人的文章和研究数据摘要。

NSTA requests funding for a conference to be held in Seattle, Washington on November 17, 2004, to disseminate current NSF-funded programs and research findings on the integration of literacy in K-8 science teaching and learning. The conference would feature several NSF-funded projects presenting their recent findings on implementation designs, research and effective professional development practices to an audience of teachers, principals, supervisors and professional development providers. The conference goals include 1) providing practitioners and policy makers with scientifically-based research on appropriate and effective integration of literacy in the K-8 science curriculum, 2) exploring the multiple roles of literacy in science instruction, 3) illustrating effective strategies for preparing teachers to link science and literacy and 4) highlighting examples of best practice in science-literacy integration. The program would include plenary sessions and three-hour workshops. Several publications featuring articles by key conference presenters and a summary of research data will be released by NSTA following the conference.
