"Currently we have 24 teachers in the school and I can probably tell you right now that there are 3 or 4 experts in science that really do a good job and in our program right now every teacher that goes with the students into the science lab and they are learning with the students and helping the students. I have already seen big excitement from the teachers and the students (all of the students) about taking this back into the classroom and being able to align with the curricula books they are using and to be able to to science projects in the classroom and suppliment what is happening in the lab. It has been a mjor concern for a number of years here and we also knew that down the line we were going to get tested - State Testing was going to happen for science and it has already started last year; 5th grade got tested for science. So we are alrealooking at State standards and our questions about the program were built around the standards and whether it could work in the lab and also work in our classroom because we do work in the lab and take that to the classroom and work in a book that is adopted by the State. It is very important for us to use the state standards and to be able to have a program and get kids excited about science."")
