The Partnership to Reform Inquiry Science in
Montana (PRISM) grant seeks to
develop and strengthen the pedagogical and content understanding of grades 3-6
teachers associated with science in all partner schools within the Region III
Southern Montana Alliance for Resources and Training (SMART).
The goal is
to improve student achievement in science by providing grades 3-6 science
teachers with immediate understandings and support for research-based
applications in inquiry methodology. To accomplish this, STEM faculty and
Science Education faculty from Montana State University Billings, LEA Faculty
and Administrators, and Region III SMART schools will partner in the TRIAD model
of professional development to achieve a better understanding of the delivery of
science content through inquiry-based procedures.
The PRISM grant is funded through the Montana Office of
Public Instruction
(OPI) and is a function of the Southern Montana Alliance for Resources and
Training (SMART) housed in the Montana Center on Disabilities at Montana.
