ALL ELEMENTARY SCHOOL AND K-8 CENTER PRINCIPALS/APs: Elementary Science Liaison/Coach Contact Information Request for 2015-2016

Audience: / Principals/APs (Elementary)
Due Date: / Sep 11, 2015

To request that principals submit contact information for 2015-2016 Elementary School Science Liaison/Coach.
The Department of Mathematics and Science is requesting that elementary school and K-8 Center principals designate an elementary science liaison/coach and provide that individual’s contact information.
The science liaison/coach should be able to participate in District science professional learning activities, share resources at the school site, inform teachers of up-to-date science information, guide grade level learning teams at the school site, and provide support to school-site curriculum leaders and teachers.
Schools that do not have a science coach must designate a Science Liaison.
K-8 Centers should send representatives to both grade 5 and grade 8 monthly meetings.
If the science liaison is not able to participate in all monthly meetings, it is still recommended that you provide his/her contact information in order to receive important science curricula information and instructional resources from the District.
Please complete the Contact Information Form identifying the science liaison/coach for the 2015-2016 school year at the following link:
At July’s Administrators’ Synergy professional development, some principals expressed their interest in adding an administrator to our distribution list, so that they can be updated on information shared with science leaders. In the Contact Information Form, we have added an optional “Administrator” in the drop down menu.
Submission timeframe: Monday, August 31, 2015 - Friday, September 11, 2015.
In light of the District STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Mathematics) initiative and subsequent media coverage on the importance of showcasing student investigations at venues like the Miami-Dade STEM Expo, it is imperative that schools submit contact information within the timeframe, since the first meeting is scheduled for the third week of September 2015.
