Science Facilitators Restored! Thanks to your support, the foundation was able to approve funds for the district to bring back a science facilitator for each of the eight schools at 5 hours a week. The district has completed interviewing for the 8 positions and the program has started at all eight schools. The science facilitator program is unique to the Rincon Valley Union School District. The role of the science facilitator is to "facilitate" hands-on science in each classroom at their school site.  The science facilitator procures and prepares materials for each lesson using the school-wide science schedule which has been provided by the classroom teachers. The science facilitator delivers the kit of materials to the classroom and collects it at the end of the lesson or unit. The science facilitator then replenishes the consumables and checks the equipment, repairing it if necessary. When the classroom teacher is in need of a second adult to "facilitate" a lesson, the science facilitator is available to help on a limited basis. The science facilitators meet once a month with the Assistant Superintendent of Curriculum to provide consistency in the program district-wide and to develop effective and efficient practices in order to support a high quality hands-on science program. |
