  1. Research Experience for Teachers Tricia Spada 8th Grade Science Teacher Vandenberg Middle School Vandenberg Air Force Base, CA

  2. Summer 2000 Research on Amphiphilic Monolayers with Yufang Hu Department of Chemical Engineering

  3. Impact on Teaching Connection between research and education Great strides are made with very small steps Keep the “big picture” in sight Collaboration is essential

  4. Focus on Standards-Based Instruction In the Lompoc Unified School District, it has been mandated that by the year2003, District Assessments in Science will become part of the Multiple Measure Matrix that determines a student’s promotion or retention.

  5. Opportunity for Collaboration Science teachers meet to write the assessments Assessments are given and data is collected Analysis of data leads to discussion of curriculum and sharing of teaching strategies

  6. Forces Assessment - Dec.2001

  7. Conclusions from Data Analysis • Laboratory experiences enhance comprehension • Practice improves the students’ ability to perform calculations and to apply these functions to new situations. • Repetition of new vocabulary such as in “Warm-Up” activities helps students to recognize and remember these new terms. • Material that is not learned well is quickly forgotten.

  8. Questions and Concerns How do we write a test that is fair and accurate? What about science inquiry skills? How do we define “mastery?”
