The Partnership consisting of nine Silicon Valley school districts and San Jose State University's (SJSU) Colleges of Engineering and Education is taking a regional approach to improving science education by building institutional capacity, instructional quality, and student achievement in a major urban region.
Sustainable institutional changes are created to support high quality science education. Science teaching and learning, grades K-8, is improved through a continuum of university preservice preparation, new teacher induction, on-going inservice and leadership development for over 1300 preservice students and inservice teachers.
The Principal Investigator of PS3 is Kurt McMullin.
More information can be
found on a separate web site created by this project: http:// www.pscubed.org.
This site was created to enhance communication and collaboration
between partners within the PS3
project as well as to inform the public of the efforts of the Math
and Science Partnership Program. While selected documents in the
library and resources sections have been made available
to the public, only logged in members of the
PS3 project can post comments,
participate or read posts in the Working Groups, or see the interactive
Calendar.
