Science Faculty Leadership Opportunities:
This program enhances knowledge and builds a community of practice focused on continuous improvement. This program gives leaders the resources to support teacher success and moves toward comparability in resources between high- and low-poverty schools.
Science Education College Faculty: In almost all of Virginia’s universities and colleges, the science education faculty consists of a single person, so networking is crucial. The VISTA five-day Science Education Faculty Academy participants will
(1) learn about new research
(2) share effective teaching and problem-solving strategies
(3) network
University Science Faculty: Selected science faculty will co-teach with science education faculty members and specialists in math, limited English proficiency, and special education. The university faculty will learn about the challenges that elementary teachers face while contributing to the elementary teachers’ knowledge of science and understanding of what a scientist does.
