Supporting Elementary Science: Scheduling Examples

The Supporting Elementary Science Ad-Hoc Committee for the Council of State Science Supervisors (CSSS) is collecting examples of elementary(K-5) instructional schedules at the classroom, school, district, and state level that include time allocated for science learning. 

The goal of this schedule collecting is to understand how teachers, schools, districts, and states are finding successful ways to organize instructional minutes so that elementary students are provided with the learning time they need for a quality science education.

The information collected in this survey will be used to develop a CSSS guiding resource illustrating schedule examples and strategies that are working in practice across the US in a variety of contexts.

The survey is expected to take about 10 minutes to complete.   

Thank you for contributing to this project, which we believe will be a valuable resource to support and advocate for access to elementary science.

Sincerely, the Supporting Elementary Science Committee Co-Chairs:
  • Kathy Renfrew: Specialist, Wade Institute for Science Education 
  • Amber McCulloch: Executive Director K-Postsecondary, Washington State Puget Sound Educational Service District
  • Carla Zembal-Saul: Department Head, Professor of Education (SCIED), Penn State University
  • Kimberley Astle: Associate Director of Elementary Science and Integration, Washington State Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction

14. If you have one, please upload any documents that show visually your schedule example.  We are especially interested in full schedules that show how time for science, ELA, math, social studies, specialists, etc... are scheduled across the elementary day and week.
16. If you have any, please upload any documents that show any perceived or proven POSITIVE student outcomes and benefits from your providing time for elementary science, including any effects on science, ELA, math, SEL, engagement, multilingual learners etc.  (qualitative and/or quantitative)  We will not make public any information that identifies students. 
18. If you have any, please upload any documents that show any perceived or proven NEGATIVE student outcomes and benefits from providing time for elementary science, including any effects on ELA, math, SEL, engagement, multilingual learners etc.  (qualitative and/or quantitative) We will not make public any information that identifies students or schools.
