This project is designed to implement and sustain a scientific-and              technological-literacy-for-all-students approach in elementary schools          in Arizona.  An action plan will be developed by each school community          and will include the following features: a) designation of the school           principal as the facilitator of school community change, b) selection of        a science instructional leader who will receive special preparation in a        science, technology, society, and science education academy, c) design          of vehicles for the sharing of up-to-date science and technology                information by the science instructional leader with other teachers and         children, d) development of interdisciplinary, instructional thematic           units which provide up-to-date technology learning experiences to               supplement the existing science and social studies programs, and e)             involvement of community businesses, industries, informal education             agencies and key parents.                                                                                                                                       A variety of useful products and outcomes will be developed including:                                                                                          a)A Science, Technology, Society Curriculum Data Bank which will enable         sharing of such resources as: thematic units developed by teachers;             newsletters on science and technology; reviews of relevant video-               cassettes; reviews of relevant television programs; reviews and                 suggested use of locally available curriculum materials; information            about community resources, computer software programs, pamphlets,               brochures, and films.                                                                                                                                           b)A report about effective strategies and approaches for creating               thematic units that utilize local resources, deal with societal issues,         and have local and community relevance and practicality for students.                                                                                           c)Suggestions about effective strategies and techniques for implementing        thematic units with children in classrooms.                                                                                                                     d)Descriptive, longitudinal and comparative research data about the             process and effects of attempting to bring about substantial change in          the science curriculum utilizing two different sequences of teacher             preparation and implementation.
