DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Science & Health Education Partnership (SEP) of the UCSF, in strong collaboration with the San Francisco Unified School District (SFUSD), proposes a National Institutes of Health (NIH) SEPA, the Quattro Alliance for Science and Language Integration. Through the Quattro Alliance, SEP will both develop a professional development program in science and language and undertake a comprehensive research, documentation, and dissemination effort. Quattro will establish a professional community of four groups of participants - elementary school teachers, UCSF volunteers, elementary English language learning (ELL) students, and a collaborative of evaluators - to promote the integration of science learning and language development in elementary schools and to increase access to rigorous science learning for ELL students in SFUSD. Science learning in this effort refers to engaging students in the development of both scientific concepts and investigation skills. Language development here refers to student understanding of the forms, functions, and vocabulary of scientific discourse. This effort will be accomplished through four specific aims: 1) to develop strong scientist-teacher partnerships grounded in the research literature on science & language teaching and learning; 2) to provide ELL students with access to rigorous science learning and the development of the skills required for academic discourse in science; 3) to establish a generative community of science educators who will develop a Framework of goals and concrete classroom strategies that can be used to integrate science learning and language development; 4) to create dissemination materials based on the generation ofa Quattro Framework and evaluation data collected during the project to provide strategies for the integration of science and language to school districts and universities nationwide. These specific aims will be addressed through three integrated programmatic structures: 1) Quattro Beginning Coursework; 2) Quattro Science Clubs, and 3) the Quattro Professional Community. These efforts will employ three innovations in the integration of science and language learning. First, the project will engage significant numbers of both teachers and UCSF scientists and clinicians in partnership, a novel approach to the integration of language development and science learning. Second, this community of science educators will develop an evidence-based and accessible framework for integrating science and language teaching and learning in elementary school classrooms. Finally, the proposed effort will occur in a large, polylingual, urban school district. Documentation of the effort, analysis of evaluation data, and the generation of a framework for integrating science and language learning in the classroom will be assembled into dissemination materials designed for use by universities and school districts across the United States.

描述（由申请人提供）： UCSF的科学与健康教育合作伙伴关系（SEP）与旧金山统一学区（SFUSD）进行了强有力的合作，建议国立卫生研究院（NIH）SEPA，SEPA，QUATTRO ALLIANCE科学与语言一体化联盟。通过Quattro Alliance，SEP将开发科学和语言的专业发展计划，并进行全面的研究，文档和传播工作。 Quattro将建立一个由四个参与者组成的专业社区 - 小学教师，UCSF志愿者，基础英语语言学习（ELL）学生以及评估人员的合作 - 以促进小学中科学学习和语言发展的整合，以增加SFUSD ELL学生对ELL学生的严格科学学习的访问。在这项工作中，科学学习是指与学生一起发展科学概念和调查技能。语言发展在这里 是指学生对科学话语的形式，功能和词汇的理解。这项努力将通过四个具体目标来完成：1）建立基于科学和语言教学研究文献的强大科学家伙伴关系； 2）为ELL学生提供严格的科学学习和科学学术话语所需的技能的发展； 3）建立一个生成的科学教育社区，他们将开发一个目标和具体课堂策略的框架，这些策略可用于整合科学学习和语言发展； 4）基于项目期间收集的Quattro框架和评估数据的产生材料，以提供将科学和语言整合到全国学区和大学的策略。这些具体目标将通过三个集成的程序结构来解决：1）Quattro开始课程； 2）Quattro科学俱乐部和3）Quattro专业社区。这些努力将在科学和语言学习的整合中采用三项创新。首先，该项目将与大量的教师和UCSF科学家和临床医生合作，这是一种新颖的语言发展和科学学习的方法。其次，这位科学教育者社区将开发一个基于证据且可访问的框架，用于在小学教室中整合科学和语言教学和学习。 最后，拟议的努力将发生在一个大型的多语言城市学区。努力，评估数据的分析以及在课堂上整合科学和语言学习的框架的文档将被组装成旨在由美国各地大学和学区使用的传播材料。
