Science Leadership Support Network 2009-10 sponsored by KDE and PIMSER Do your science leaders need support in their program improvement efforts? Consider partnering with the University of Kentucky Partnership Institute for Math and Science Education Reform (PIMSER) to provide the support they need. Currently, PIMSER is offering the Science Leadership Support Network (SLSN) to science leaders at any level (school, district, regional, or state) in the Commonwealth of Kentucky. SLSN is provided by the K-12 Math and Science Outreach Unit of PIMSER whose facilitators have been working to develop and support science leaders for the past 12 years. Target Audience: Educators who are charged with the task of assisting school(s) and/or the district with science improvement efforts in grades K-12. Goals & Expected Outcomes • Form a professional learning community by participating in an ongoing study of important conceptual and pedagogical issues (formative and summative assessment, inquiry, literacy...) that face elementary, middle, and high school science teachers. • Build leadership capacity and improve content and pedagogical knowledge that will improve your science program. • Become aware of the latest research on teaching and learning in science and how to translate that into effective classroom practices. • Provide your district with local experts who are knowledgeable about the program of studies and core content for assessment. • Receive a wealth of resources to enable the implementation of improvement efforts in their schools/districts.
