This project, Partners in Elementary Science (PIES), is designed to             improve elementary science education by strengthening the confidence of         elementary school teachers in teaching process/inquiry science in the           classroom; helping elementary teachers link science activities to other         academic areas, especially writing; and assisting principals in                 developing strategies to improve their elementary science programs.             Fifty teachers, designated as National Science Foundation Fellows, will         be selected from five representative school systems in western                  Massachusetts as participants for the first year of the project.  The           school systems represent different types of communities ranging from            urbanized centers to rural communities.                                                                                                                         The project will include Saturday workshops, a three-week summer                institute focused on inquiry/process methodology in the life sciences           and physical sciences, support during the academic year for the National        Science Foundation Fellows including classroom assistance, and monthly          workshops and seminars for principals regarding their role as                   instructional and organizational leaders.  Math/science programs of the         Western Massachusetts Five College Public School Partnership as well as         community resource centers, such as the Hitchcock Center in Amherst,            will provide continuous support for the project.  Excellent support from        the school districts will insure implementation of the project's                objectives.
