Science enables under-served children and their teachers to:SEE beauty, wonder, and infinite opportunity.DO science through active exploration and collaboration.KNOW the joy of discovery and the power of knowledge.In 2006, CCOF launched P.S. Science in response to the persistent need for early elementary science education. P.S. Science provides Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS)-aligned science curriculum, instructors, materials, and resources to Title I elementary schools in the greater Los Angeles community. P.S. Science runs for the entire school year. The model involves working with the classroom teacher while delivering the science instruction and includes 90 minutes of instruction per week per class. After 2-3 years of the P.S. Science instructor in the classrooms leading lessons, the program instruction shifts to the classroom teacher teaching the science lessons themselves with the option of on-going support from a P.S. Science "facilitator". In the 2015-2016 school year, P.S. Science delivered high-quality, age-appropriate, weekly hands-on science lessons to nearly 1,000 first through third grade students in and their teachers in three Title I schools in Los Angeles, and a pilot of a 4th and 5th grade program in nine 4th and 5th grade classrooms at William Green Elementary School in Lawndale. The demographic distribution of these schools is approximately 54% Hispanic students, 18% White students, 10% African-American students, 5% Asian students, 1% Filipino students, and 12% multi-racial students. The combined percentage of socioeconomically disadvantaged students at the three schools, 60%, well exceeds the federal Title I standard. McKinley Elementary School Santa Monica 275 students 9 teachersSaint Anne School Santa Monica 90 students 3 teachersWilliam Green Elementary School Lawndale 650 students 25 teachersP.S. Science also started a fee based program, providing the same rich P.S. Science program to non-Title I schools for a fee which includes a 10% contribution to fund the Title I program. In the 2015-2016 year, this program was launched in the 1st grade at Saint Anastasia School - Playa del Rey - 32 students - 2 teachersThe program fee for the St. Anastasia program was $9,700.The 39 classroom teachers who partnered with the P.S. Science program in 2015-16 each received over 50 hours of one-on-one professional development in inquiry-based science instruction while co-delivering the lessons with their P.S. Science Instructor. In 2015/2016, five classroom teachers began leading their classroom science instruction independently, due to the support and training they had received in previous years from P.S. Science. 14900 St Anne K-8 Comprehensive Music Program:SOL-LA Music Academy's satellite program at Saint Anne School in Santa Monica, CA, the only nonpublic Title I school in Santa Monica is flourishing.
