Authentic Literacy and Language (ALL) for Science

项目总结/摘要 真正的科学素养和语言（ALL）伙伴关系正在开发课程材料， 真正让小学生参与科学家如何使用语言，同时建立学生的 科学知识和技能。在以前的项目基础上，与学生一起展示成果， 2-3年级，ALL for Science为4-5年级的学生创建了四个课程单元， 标准使生命科学主题与学生科学特定学科的发展保持一致 识字、算术和相关的健康内容。各单位的科学主题侧重于低 学生在生命科学和阅读/写作方面的表现。 该项目将聘请一个教师领导，科学家和教育工作者团队开发四个得克萨斯州 标准和NGSS一致的课程单元，每个单元旨在提供3-4周的生命科学 在学校进行探究式教学，或采用学校和家庭相结合的方法， 阅读/英语语言艺术、健康和算术。课程单元和辅助材料将 在当地教室进行试点;通过匹配良好的比较组研究进行实地测试， 分配小组;并通过既定的高流量网站BioEd Online传播 （www.bioedonline.org），并通过其他途径，以达到国家和国家的观众与高 优质免费的教学资源。该项目将直接影响约285名教师和6，840名教师 学生，提供给超过80万德克萨斯州学生和全国观众的教师。 所有科学单位将在城市学校进行评估，这些学校的入学率高，代表性不足 少数民族和经济困难学生。此外，休斯顿地区的两所小学 （超过1，200名学生的合并招生）将作为纵向实施站点， 衡量对学生成绩和科学身份形成的影响，以及教师的做法，而 为持续的项目改进和当地传播提供信息。我们将衡量教学的变化 实践和科学教学效能信念;并将考察学生内容知识的增长， 作为科学界成员的科学特定学科素养和身份形成。 该项目响应了SEPA计划对创新课程的要求， STEM，使他们的教师能够使用新的方法提供教学。它解决了两个 三个新的高程序感兴趣的领域：嵌入式数学和阅读内容和改编的 成功的SEPA计划与新的人口。

PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT The Authentic Literacy and Language (ALL) for Science partnership is developing curriculum materials to authentically engage elementary school students in how scientists use language, while building students’ science knowledge and skills. Building on a previous project with demonstrated results with students in grades 2-3, ALL for Science is creating four curriculum units for students in grades 4-5 that integrate standards aligned life science topics, with development of students’ science specific disciplinary literacies, numeracy and related health content. Science themes for the units focus on areas of low student performance in life science and reading/writing in Texas. The project will engage a team of teacher leaders, scientists and educators to develop four Texas standards- and NGSS- aligned curriculum units, each designed to provide 3–4 weeks of life science inquiry-based instruction in school or as a blended school and home approach, with aligned reading/English language arts, health and numeracy. The curriculum units and supporting materials will be piloted in local classrooms; field tested through well-matched comparison group studies, with random assignment of groups; and disseminated via the established, high traffic website, BioEd Online (www.bioedonline.org), and through other pathways to reach state and national audiences with high quality, free teaching resources. The project directly will impact approximately 285 teachers and 6,840 students, with availability to teachers of more than 800,000 Texas students and national audiences. The ALL for Science units will be evaluated in urban schools with high enrollments of underrepresented minority and economically disadvantaged students. In addition, two Houston-area elementary schools (combined enrollment of more than 1,200 students) will serve as longitudinal implementation sites to gauge impacts on student achievement and formation of science identity, and teacher practices, while informing continued project improvement and local dissemination. We will measure changes in teaching practices and science teaching efficacy beliefs; and will examine growth of students’ content knowledge, science-specific disciplinary literacies and identity formation as members of a science community. This project responds to the SEPA program call for innovative curricula that will prepare students in STEM and enable their teachers to provide instruction using a novel approach. It addresses two of the three new areas of high programmatic interest: embedded math and reading content and adaptations of successful SEPA programs with new populations.
