The project provides strategies for achieving a major impact on science instruction, particularly in school districts in Riverside and San Bernardino Counties. Teachers who participate in the project develop skills in implementing the California Science Content Standards, create lessons that are multidisciplinary and multisensory, and are introduced to alternative methods for assessing science. All of the participants developed presentations of techniques or methods for teaching science at the kindergarten through 8th grade level. Some of these presentations are shared with other educators during the annual Kaleidoscope Conference . During the school year, follow-ups include continued training in content and methodology.
Educators trained by IASP institutes offer workshops to teachers throughout the region.
