This is a challenging task, particularlyfor teachers who many have little familiarity with either science inquiry or the engineeringdesign process (EDP), and who may not have developed the instructional strategies needed tofacilitate student inquiry and engagement in EDP. In the Partnership to Improve StudentAchievement (PISA) study, 43 grade 3-5 teachers in New Jersey participated in a two-weeksummer workshop, three workshops during the school year, and received monthly classroomsupport visits, which comprised one year of instructional activities in a three-year professionaldevelopment program.

These variables have allbeen implicated in lowered academic performance, and the information provided by the model will allow thedevelopment of future non-academic interventions associated with these variables to enhance the impact ofcognitive training.IntroductionAn Information
