Abstract

Nineteen elementary and 5 middle school in‐service teachers served as regional lead teachers to provide 13 two‐ and four‐day workshops for 235 in‐service teachers. The lead teachers attended 100 hours of inservice training on national science/math reform curricula, cognitive theory, pedagogical strategies for enhancing problem solving, and authentic assessment procedures. The lead teachers then selected $30,000 worth of instructional materials for use in their classrooms. Subsequently, they developed four hands‐on‐manipulative‐based workshops through extensive use of video‐teleconferencing technology. The lead teachers strongly believe that this extensive project has made a permanent positive impact on the quality and quantity of integrated science and math instruction in Kansas.
