eSCI : Excellence in Science Instruction
SASP teams up with the Elk Grove Unified School District to offer workshops for 3rd-6th grade teachers. Learn techniques for injecting inquiry and excitement into your classroom and bringing science instruction into focus in elementary school. Some 200 teachers are participating in the three-year research study. The professional development offered by the Sacramento Area Science Project addresses science content instruction and lesson study. The institutes focus on a different content area each year, starting with physical science in 2008, then earth science for 2009, and concluding with life science, 2010.
Our Spring Showcase event occurs at Sacramento State on April 14, 2009
The 2009 Summer Institute will be June 29 - July 2, 2009, also on the Sacramento State campus
