This text offers specific examples and empirical evidence of how integrated science-literacy curriculum and teaching in urban primary-grade classrooms give students opportunities to learn science and to develop positive images of themselves as scientists.

Recenzje

"This work is particularly notable because it provides concrete examples of how to deliver high quality science content in an elementary classroom along with classroom artifacts of the ISLE curriculum generated by elementary school age learners in urban school settings. The authors provide a sound research basis for the effectiveness of these instructional methodologies thus making this text an appropriate resource for university level science education faculty engaged in preparing pre-service teachers for teaching science in the primary grades, literacy faculty working with pre-service teachers, and practicing teachers who have a desire to hone their skills in developing and delivering cross-curricular units in science and literacy. ... an excellent resource for engaging in study that addresses equity issues that abound in our nation's schools." —Teachers College Record
