Elementary Science Study

What kinds of supports, conditions and experiences are necessary for elementary teachers in Washington to improve their science teaching? The Center for Strengthening the Teaching Profession commissioned Inverness Research to answer this question.

Inverness focused its research on teachers who are working on getting better at teaching science. The data in this study were drawn from 34 individuals interviews with teachers identified by nomination as being "in the process of improving their science teaching"…….. these teachers were not representative of the total elementary workforce currently teaching science, but they offer the perspective of seasoned, experienced professionals who are dedicated to improving their teaching.
