   ParticipantsTwo Sc-iii project cohorts will be identified; a Western cohort and an Eastern cohort. Each cohort will be made up of teams of teacher participants. Grades 3-5 elementary, middle and high school teachers are eligible for project participation. Each district team of 2-3 teachers will be required to have one high school science teacher, willing to serve as team leader. The number of participants allowed from each PAEC member or participating district will be calculated based on that district's percentage of FTE and the total number of project participants, limited to 120 teachers.Superintendents, professional development and curriculum directors in each district will be informed of the total number of teacher participants allowed for that district and asked to work with school-based administrators to select only those teachers who are well-respected educators and who are willing to commit to participate for the duration of the project. It is expected that there will be 40-50 teams of teacher participants and the potential to impact approximately 12,880 students in a single school year.
