Weiss, Iris R.; Pasley, Joan D.
Phi Delta Kappan, v88 n9 p669-675 May 2007
Local Systemic Change projects, funded by the National Science Foundation, were designed to help teachers of mathematics and science deepen their content knowledge and improve their instructional practices. Ms. Weiss and Ms. Pasley describe how these aims were accomplished through a combination of intensive professional development and follow-up support when the teachers took their new knowledge and skills back to the classroom. (Contains 1 figure and 12 endnotes.)
