Core capacities?
|
Kathryn... your message makes me think that maybe we should all work
together to identify the core capacities needed to sustain an ongoing
effort to improvement science education... That is, in tough times, it
may not be possible to get all the supports that were offered by the
full funding of the LSC... But what then are the critical capacities
the district should maintain to keep alive the capacity for
improvement, if not all of the curricular implementation that happened
during the LSC... Is it a science coordinator? one or two resource
teachers (teachers on special assignment)... some support for teachers
who want to continue their own development... support for the materials
center???
What are the minimum, key, or critical capacities and forms of support
we should be seeking to maintain an improvement effort in the domain
the LSC worked in?
I think this is really important...We need to be able to say... OK we
realize you can not support the program fully, but it is really
important to find funds to continue x,y,z... now what are the x's y's
and z's that are most important????
