| Since 2006 Occidental College staff have served as content experts for a California Mathematics and Science Partnership program in Baldwin Park, a large suburb in Southern California. Educator participants from the school district are offered over 80 hours of intensive professional development in standards-based content and pedagogy. Science educators in the program are teaching fifth and eighth grade physical science with a strong chemistry emphasis. Professional development opportunities include a series of Saturday seminars that focus on a particular physical science topic such as the states of matter. This presentation will report on two years of assessment of whether the professional development model of learning content through inquiry, Lesson Study, in cross grade groups, and one-on-one coaching increase teacher standards-based content knowledge. |
