Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) Title II funds were used in a 12-month project for the improvement of mathematics and science teaching at the prekindergarten through grade 12 levels in the Austin (Texas) Independent School District (AISD). The project provided: (1) staff development workshops; (2) consultants to develop a secondary scope and sequence; (3) funds for teachers to attend professional meetings; (4) materials; and (5) tuition and stipends for teachers to attend staff development workshops. In the 1989-90 school year, the AISD employed 1,835 elementary school teachers, 305 secondary school mathematics teachers, and 282 secondary school science teachers. Development workshops were evaluated through questionnaires completed by 116 participants (79 teachers, 28 administrators, and 9 other professional personnel), representing a response rate of 78%. High ratings were given to the instructional materials by the 171 teachers who completed questionnaires on their usefulness, although 5 elementary teachers of the gifted and talented commented that the materials were too advanced for their students. A major outcome was the coordinated scope and sequence developed for secondary mathematics beginning with grade 6, and a comparable scope and sequence developed for science in grades 8 and 10. Scopes and sequences for the other grades are to be developed over the next 5 years. Overall, Title II funds were used effectively to improve mathematics and science teaching in the AISD. The workshops were very well received by the participants, and all of the professional meetings were given high ratings. Teachers appraised elementary school and secondary school mathematics and secondary school science materials as useful/effective for improving instruction. Materials for instructing gifted/talented students received mixed reviews. Seven tables and 22 graphs are provided. (SLD)
