1 Making a Science Initiative Systemic, Successful, and Sustainable
California Mathematics and Science partnership (camsp) learning network meeting Sacramento, california april 4-5, 2011 California Mathematics and Science Partnership –Partners for Outstanding Science Education (CaMSP-POSE) Jarred Shell, MS.Ed., Rick Hall, Ed.S., Paul Gale, Ph.D., Linda Braatz-Brown, MS.Ed.

2 Why our partnership works
Relationships built over time Mutual respect: a value for each area of expertise Shared and focused workload Equal voices leading toward success with a student focus Based on building teacher capacity Synergist Partnership

3 Program Goals 1st To improve achievement in Science for students in 4th – 8th grades. 2nd To immerse teachers in on-going professional development. 3rd To strengthen and build capacity of Institutions of Higher Education (IHE) professors and the Ontario-Montclair Elementary School District (OMSD) community to fulfill integrated instruction and content needs in the field of science. 4th To increase the depth of science knowledge for teachers. 5th To build and support partnerships between OMSD and its parent community, San Bernardino County Superintendent of Schools (SBCSS), Alliance for Education, University of California—Riverside (UCR), and local businesses.

4 Acronyms of Key Initiatives & organizations

5 How do we improved student achievement in science?
What we are currently doing What we are Piloting for the future Summer opportunities CaMSP Summer Academy CHAMPS Hands on Science lessons GEMS2 Delivered using funding from ADA During the school year opportunities Delivered in vertical teams of students K-2nd, 3rd-5th, 6th-8th Science Units and Lessons Field trips STEM Super Saturdays Teachers are trained to deliver hands on inquiry based units and lessons Science Fair NASCAR SEEK

6 How do we immerse teachers in on-going professional development?
What we are currently doing Summer opportunities CaMSP Summer Academy Field Studies Service learning trips During the school year opportunities Content seminars STEM Super Saturdays Science Fair NASCAR STEP STEM Service learning Institute DSLN What we are piloting for the future STEM Super Saturdays Teachers are trained to deliver hands on science lessons Teacher deliver lessons developed to students in vertical teams K-2nd, 3rd-5th, 6th-8th Funded through ADA recovery & 21st Century Field Studies Teachers attend local sites with students to experience real world application of science standards Funded through 21st Century

7 How do Strengthen the partnerships’ capacity in Science instruction
What we are currently doing District Science Nights Science demonstrations at back to School and open houses Field trips STEM Super Saturdays UCR University credits Interns SBCSS Science Fair Expo STEM Service learning Institute DSLN

8 How do we increase the depth of science content knowledge for teachers?
What we are currently doing Content CaMSP Summer Academy Field Studies Service learning trips Content seminars STEM Super Saturdays Science Fair NASCAR STEP STEM Service Learning Institute DSLN Pedagogy KQLQ 5E Reflective Journaling Costa’s Levels of Questioning GLAD What we are Piloting for the future STEM Super Saturdays Teachers are trained to deliver hands on science lessons Teacher deliver lessons developed to students in vertical teams K-2nd, 3rd-5th, 6th-8th Funded through ADA recovery & 21st Century Field Studies Teachers attend local sites with students to experience real world application of science standards Funded through 21st Century

9 How do we build and support partnerships between Camsp-POSe and the surrounding community?
Teaching, Helping, Inspiring & Nurturing Kids (THINK Together) Funding for student field trips and materials Discovery Science Center Teacher professional development Student outreach Alliance for Education Business connections National Association for Stock Car Auto Racing (NASCAR) Physics day Jet Propulsion Laboratory-Educator Resource Center (JPL ERC) Teacher professional development Student outreach Water Education Water Awareness Committee (WEWAC) Teacher grants Field Study locations Teacher materials

10 Evaluation – The ethics
Evaluation and evaluator guidance Guiding Principals for Evaluators Joint Committee on Standards for Educational Evaluation Program Evaluation Standards Personnel Evaluation Standards Student Evaluation Standards Standards for Educational and Psychological Testing Education Testing Service: Standards for Quality and Fairness

11 Evaluation – an Art… Challenges to create and maintain an ethical evaluation Utility Propriety Feasibility Accuracy Flexibility Identifying key elements Constructing strategically Forcing a “flawed” design Assuming the design will change Navigation Policies Politics Personalities Collaboration Building shared concepts Creating viable models Steering the course of the program Information Comprehensive Strategic

12 …And – a science Hard science (Technical)
Multi-level evaluation designs Assessments Research Understanding the system (examples) Initiative design Partners as change agents Competitive and cooperative initiatives Soft research (Investigative) Supporting / piloting new ideas Allowing stakeholder learning Building relationships Continually developing the program through collaboration, discussions, and information Leveraging Resources Building participant capacity Collecting data for opportunity

13 Evaluation – a few Focuses
Assessments – outcomes “student” California Standards Tests District Benchmarks CaMSP Assessments Science Fair Projects Assessments – process “in situ” Summer Academy Content seminars Field excursions Classrooms Community

14 Evaluation instruments – Just A Taste
Summative California Standards Tests District Benchmarks CaMSP Assessments Participant Interviews* Post hoc Surveys Debriefs* Formative KQLQ Lab Participant Reflection Observations in situ Rubrics Science Classroom Planning / Visitation Staff Strengths Technology Surveys
