The two outstanding features of this project are its emphasis on a hands-on investigative approach to elementary science instruction and its commitment to addressing the needs for effective science education of underrepresented and underserved groups in the Cincinnati Public School System. Thirty leadership teachers will receive extensive educational experiences during the first year of the project and will support the school system's efforts to identify new instructional material for the elementary science program. Seventy-two underprepared or less well-prepared teachers will participate each year following the first year for a total of 246 participants. This will allow the school system to have teachers with special experiences in elementary science instruction in each of the city's elementary schools. All workshops and seminars will provide teachers with in-depth experience with concepts and processes in the biological, physical, environmental, and earth sciences. As the participants' familiarity with science concepts and process increases, they should become more comfortable with the subject matter and increasingly confident in their abilities to support their fellow teachers as they implement the new hands-on science curriculum. The cost sharing will be 95% of the NSF portion.

该项目的两个突出特点是强调对基础科学教学采取实践调查方法，并致力于满足辛辛那提公立学校系统中代表性不足和服务不足群体的有效科学教育需求。 三十名领导教师将在该项目的第一年获得丰富的教育经验，并将支持学校系统为基础科学项目确定新教学材料的努力。 第一年之后，每年将有 72 名准备不足或准备不足的教师参加，总共 246 名参与者。 这将使学校系统能够在该市的每所小学中拥有在基础科学教学方面具有特殊经验的教师。 所有讲习班和研讨会将为教师提供生物、物理、环境和地球科学概念和过程的深入经验。 随着参与者对科学概念和过程的熟悉程度的增加，他们应该对主题更加熟悉，并且在实施新的实践科学课程时对自己支持教师同事的能力越来越有信心。 费用分摊将为 NSF 部分的 95%。
