This $283,812 federal Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Discovery Research PreK-12 (DRK-12) program aims to support rural elementary teachers and administrators in incorporating locally and culturally significant, place-based science phenomena into their classroom teaching practices. Over a 4-year period from November 2024 to October 2028, the University of Hawaii at Manoa will lead a professional learning initiative that builds the pedagogical design capacity of 3rd-5th grade teachers in rural schools across Maine, Montana, and Hawaii. The goal is to help these teachers adapt and utilize place-based science phenomena to prioritize their students' communities and cultures in the scientific sense-making process. By examining how this professional learning system unfolds across diverse rural contexts, the project seeks to uncover common mechanisms and unique local factors that enable the adoption of phenomena-driven science teaching approaches in rural schools.
