Art and music help express human feeling. Math is a universal tool that describes everything around us. Science and math are the same in all languages, all socio-economic backgrounds, and all countries. A plant growing in Chile, Africa, Italy, and Iceland all need similar biological requirements. Science affects us all, whether rich or poor.
Administrators are vital in helping teachers improve a school s science curriculum.
Without leadership and continuous dedication, there is little systemic change. We have found that the solution is different for each district, depending on the schools, the make-up of teachers, and type of administrators. The one consistent finding is that the solution is not dependent on the socioeconomic background of the children or community. Strategies in each of the schools must be customized and developed prior to the start of a program. Our most successful schools are those in which administrators became involved in the process.
