California Science Project: Spotlight on the Content Institutes
Our network provides high quality, standards-based professional development in science to ensure that every student achieves the highest standards of academic performance. We do this by:
- Developing teachers’ content knowledge and expanding their teaching strategies
- Supporting teachers in the effective use of state frameworks, content standards, and instructional materials
- Focusing on academic English language development
- Creating a pool of expert teacher leaders and university scholars to conduct programs that translate California’s educational policies into sound classroom practices
- Linking universities, schools/districts together in partnerships
