Implementation of the DoDEA Science Content Standards requires the cooperation and collaboration of a community of learners. The core of this community consists of students, teachers, and science liaisons. Each of these groups has a specific mission:

Our students will become active problem-solvers engaged in learning science by designing, conducting, and communicating their own investigations, using technology to assist in collection, analysis, and communication of data. They will become scientifically literate citizens who enjoy and appreciate science in the 21st century.

Our teachers will collaborate, take risks, and build on an ever-expanding repertoire of significant and meaningful standards-based lessons and investigations, whereby the teacher acts as a facilitator to inspire independently inquiry-initiated research, competently utilizing technology, and giving students ownership of their education.

Our district specialists will strive to efficiently and effectively communicate with each other, with science faculty, and with local, district, area, and DoDEA administrators. As advocates for the improvement of science education, liaisons will provide direct support to teachers and indirect support to students.
