Pacific Science Center Foundation
STAFF Leadership for Rural School Districts
Principle Investigator:  Dennis Shatz
Open to the public:  No
DESCRIPTION:  The Pacific Science Center and three rural
school districts:  Riverview, Skykomish and Snoqualmie
Valley, will cooperatively create systemic change to how
science is taught in their schools.  This four year project
will enable each district to: 1) develop a new vision for its
elementary science education curriculum, 2) establish the
mechanisms to implement and sustain this vision, and 3)
provide staff development to all elementary teachers as a
beginning to the implementation of this vision.  Through
extensive staff development, a group of 30 teachers called
STAFF Leaders, will become leaders in their district's science
education and will then provide 40 hours of science
education staff development to each district's entire
elementary teaching staff.  LOCATION:  Stillwater, WA.
ENROLLMENT:  30 STAFF Leaders during the summer (+163
teachers throughout the year).  GRADE(S):  K-5.  ELIGIBILITY:
