__Background__
==== The implementation of the Common Core Standards for Mathematics and English Language Arts in combination with the new North Carolina Essential Standards in Social Studies and Science have created a need for teachers to focus on identifying student learning outcomes, new assessments, and different teaching methods. In 2011-2012, Edgecombe County Schools performed well under the state average in science at 49% on the 5th grade End of Grade Science Test and 42.5% on the 8th Grade End of Science Test. Through walkthroughs and observations, the time allotted for science instruction was not being utilized to maximize science instruction for students. ====
