East Bay Science Project

We are offering a series of workshops focusing on effective science instruction in the elementary school classroom. The workshops will focus on effective teaching strategies for the development of academic language, literacy in the science classroom, integration of math and science standards, and science content sessions that are focused on specific 4th and 5th grade California Science Content Standards. Teachers of science at any level are welcome to attend.

The Integrated Science Lesson (July 21) is a full-day workshop that will fully integrate science content with the development of academic language, literacy, inquiry, and mathematics. All the workshops will incorporate classroom discussions and class/lab activities. Our goal is to cover specific science content areas correlated with adopted instructional materials.

The Field Trip sessions will initially meet on the campus and incorporate science content with field instruction.

Participants may register for any number of workshops and are eligiable to receive up to 4 units of upper division extension credit depending on the number of workshop hours attended (for a fee). Participants will receive a $100/day prorated stipend and a classroom set of instructional materials for the sessions that they attend. Lunch will be provided to participants during the workshops on July 21-25.

All workshops will be directed by University faculty and held on the California State University, East Bay campus .

The mission of the East Bay Science Project is to develop creative teacher exchange in diverse communities. We are composed of University faculty, teachers, and public school administrators. Our focus is on rigorous and engaging science content aligned with California Science Content Standards. Our programs will create and support a pool of teacher leaders whose scientific and pedagogical expertise will benefit their schools and students.

The East Bay Science Project is a partnership between CSUEB and the Alameda County Office of Education (ACOE). It is funded by the California Science Project (CSP). The CSP is a university-based professional development network for teachers of science. This statewide network works toward the common goal of improving science education for all students in California. For the past decade, the CSP has been, and continues to be, a regional provider of services to schools and districts seeking to strengthen their science programs and science instruction consistent with the California Framework and the California Science Content Standards.
