- W2150485920 abstract "This article describes the outgrowth of a recently held invitational conference, supported by the National Science Foundation, to define, describe, and examine existing models for the use of elementary science specialists. The authors explore the educational, policy, and financial issues that affect the use of science specialists as well as offer a research agenda to assess the quality and effectiveness of specialist-managed elementary science programs to ensure that students experience high-quality science teaching. Introduction For the past several decades, the Center for Science Education (CSE) at Education Development Center, Inc. (EDC), has worked across the United States with school districts to help them reform their elementary science education programs. Although many school districts employ some model of science specialists to deliver elementary science instruction, there currently is little research about the effectiveness of specialists in enhancing student science learning. What exists in the literature about the role and impact of science specialists is limited and focuses primarily on descriptions of various models and debates their relative merits. Based on our experience working with school districts and the dearth of current research about the efficacy of science specialists, the CSE proposed an invitational conference to the National Science Foundation to define, describe, and examine existing models for the use of elementary science specialists; explore the educational, policy, and financial issues that affect the use of science specialists; and most importantly, develop a research agenda to assess the quality and effectiveness of specialist-managed elementary science programs on student outcomes. The assumption was that the findings from this conference would begin to add to the existing knowledge about various models of support for science learning at the elementary level and would contribute to the development of a research agenda. Our expectation was that case studies and a research agenda emanating from this conference would lead to moreinformed decision making about how best to ensure adequate and appropriate science instruction in the elementary grades. The goals of the conference were to: describe existing and past science-specialist programs, compare and contrast the elementary science programs provided by specialists vs. regular classroom teachers, identify the specific skills and knowledge that science specialists need to be effective and survey how these are reflected in existing state certification requirements, identify the elements of school culture and administrative support needed for effective science specialist programs, learn about successful training programs for the development of science specialists, and develop research questions and an agenda focused on the impact of elementary science specialists on student science outcomes. The conference, held in the fall of 2007, brought together state science supervisors; leaders from higher education; district superintendents; district science coordinators; MSP program coordinators and project directors; science education experts; science education consultants; school principals; literacy, mathematics, and science specialists; mentor teachers; elementary classroom teachers; researchers; and e valuators to share and reflect upon the current use of specialists, their contributions to elementary science teaching, and their effectiveness in supporting students' science learning. Following the conference, manuscripts were analyzed and three products were developed: a research agenda, case studies of different specialist models, and conference proceedings. Need for Creating a Research Agenda The 2007-2008 school year marked the beginning of a new era in science education as the federal government, beneath No Child Left Behind, began holding states accountable for student performance in science. …" @default.
