Science Communities of Practice Partnership

The Science Communities of Practice Partnership (SCOPP), a four-year $3.4 million National Science Foundation grant. The project is developing and studying a comprehensive teacher professional development model to transform science teaching and learning in elementary schools serving predominantly minoritized students.  The project will provide evidence about specific components of the professional development model that support instructional change in science teaching, and will test a model for building organizational infrastructure for elementary science education across four districts.
