Foundation president, Harvey Fineberg, and chairman emeritus and co-founder, Gordon Moore, discuss the Statement of Founders’ Intent with staff.
For the development of a valid, reliable and scalable assessment system to measure efficiently how well children in grades K-5 have learned science in ways that develop and retain their ability to engage in critical inquiry in later years. Funding will be used to develop an assessment system that determines whether the Activated Young Science Learner (AYSL) framework effectively and efficiently captures children's persistent engagement in science learning and critical inquiry; defines how AYSL can be measured with instruments drawn from a broad range of preceding science learning efforts; and identifies and cross-validates a scalable set of measures that could be used to transform the design and assessment of early science experiences for children ages 5-11 across informal and formal settings.
