Description
Project VISION (Very Intensive Scientific Intercurricular On-Site Education) is a joint effort among NASA/John F. Kennedy Space Center, Florida International University, Universidad del Turabo, Miami-Dade County Public Schools and the Caguas/Gurabo Public Schools in Puerto Rico. The project's main mission 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. These learning modules have been classified according to the national science and math education standards established by the National Committee on Science Education Standards and Assessments and the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics, respectively.
