  • Integration of all the disciplines occurs within the elementary classroom so teachers of this level need to have a background that gives them comfort with all disciplines. There is much conversation going at present within the science education community about how to help elementary teachers gain greater comfort with science.
  • Science needs to spiral in the elementary level classroom just as the other disciplines such as language skills and math do
  • Greater integration is needed even within the separate science disciplines for Middle and High School so that the exposure to the separate science disciplines is spiralling vertically and horizontally at the same time.
  • More coordination among the separate disciplines in Middle and Upper School
