| Measurable Outcome Anticipated: |
| This project will incorporate best practices in standardized test review to increase student scores on the 5th and 8th grade FCAT exams in science. In addition to the production and distribution of the video segments and daily review materials, we fully anticipate that schools which fully implement the use of the video review series will increase performance on the science FCAT exams. Regional teacher workshops, including stipend for travel for science supervisors and lead teachers will help to assure implementation and quantify participation and effectiveness of this effort. Effective and efficient distribution and implementation will also be accomplished by working with partner agencies across the State of Florida (Brevard, Jacksonville, Gainesville |
