The final unit, Unit 3, will be developed in the summer of 1997 and piloted along with the first three units in the Fall and Spring of the 1997-98 school. Full implementation of all four units of the Science 21 curriculum is anticipated for the Fall of 1998. Designers, Pilots and Learners Designers, pilots and learners are classroom teachers from our participating school districts for Science 21. Designers are those teachers whom your principal or district have designated as curriculum designers in the Science 21 project. Pilots are all other classroom teachers who will be piloting the new curriculum.
Learners are any classroom teachers who are beginning teachers.
Both designers and learners will be piloting as well. The Team Susan Isenberg, Art Lebofsky, Helen Pashley and Kent Leo make up your Science 21 team. They have been working hard with the designers this summer in developing Unit 1. As well as continuing to work with the designers in developing curriculum, the team will be facilitating staff development with the pilots and learners beginning late in September. The team looks forward to meeting and working with all of you in meeting the Learning Standards for K-6 science through Science 21.
