Science In the City |
| |
|
The purpose of Science in the City
is to improve the quality of science education in urban areas,
where now, especially for minority students, it ranges from merely
adequate to woefully deficient. In order to elevate levels of
teaching and learning, the program is designed to involve not
only students, teachers, counselors, and school administrators,
but also parents and guardians, families, school boards, and the
community at large. By including the entire community in science
education, Science in the City addresses the problems of lack
of interest, understanding, and support that often exist in urban
schools. The goal is to build home and community involvement through
the use of innovative, complementary components; those intended
for students and teachers are aligned with national and state
standards for science education. |
