The Copernicus Project provides support for over 160 elementary science teachers.  The Copernicus Project is a consortium for the preparation of highly-qualified K-12 science teachers.  The Teacher Support Center at RCOE in conjunction with University of California, Riverside (UCR) assists science teachers from the Alvord, Corona-Norco, Lewis Center (charter school), Moreno Valley, Palm Springs, Rialto, Riverside and Val Verde Unified School Districts in the following areas:

• Preparation of Academic Subject Matter
• Action Research Implementation
• English Language Learner Training
• Technology Equipment and Assistance
• Special Populations Assistance
• Site Administrator Forums

Participating teachers attend a two-week Science Summer Institute at UCR where they participate in an intensive introduction to the 5 E’s instructional strategy and experience in-depth instruction in one of five science content areas: Life Science, Chemistry, Earth Science, Physics and Astronomy.  RCOE coordinators support the teachers through site visits throughout the school year.
