abstract

  • The first two years of operation of Project VISION is presented. Project VISION also known as very intensive scientific intercurricular on-site education (VISION) is a joint effort among John F. Kennedy Space Center, Florida International University, Universidad del Turabo, Miami-Dade County public schools and Caguas/Gurabo public schools in Puerto Rico. The aim is to institutionalize change among the elementary and middle school science and math teachers at participating schools. Thereafter, the teachers provide their students with continuously enriched instruction in the principles of science and math through the use of hands-on and minds-on experiments called learning modules.
