The Museum of Science has asked me to update ther announcement of their Summer Program that I e-mailed to the list-serve earlier today. As follows:



We wanted to clarify how the reading specialist position is slightly different than the rest of the teacher in residence opportunities.
Science in Literacy: Elementary Reading Specialist
The Museum of Science is developing a program to map our nonfiction elementary science books (the largest in New England) to elementary science curriculum and reading levels. Our intent is to use our collection to develop a program to enable elementary teachers to embed science topics in English Language Arts programming. The outputs of the Summer Residency will include the collection mapping and a strong team role in the development of the program.

We also wanted to highlight that only those with a working knowledge of the Massachusetts Literarcy Standards and the Mass Science Frameworks should apply, such as literacy specialistis, school librarians, and/or media specialists.

Kind Regards
