Summary:

For K-8 principals, Sheninger, a high school principal and former science teacher, and Devereaux, a biology teacher and science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) interdepartmental liaison, outline the essential aspects of an effective science curriculum and offer research-based strategies for increasing student achievement in science and fostering an environment that supports the science curriculum. They discuss instructional materials and curricula, provide a self-assessment survey, and consider inquiry-based learning, the assessment of science learning, the design of science experiments, strategies for professional development to improve teaching, and guidelines for observing and evaluating instruction.
