Educators: Try It

Exploring Your Own Ideas about Science Teaching and Learning

Teacher Candidate: Lori

Comparing this and the previous drawing, what differences might you expect to see in the two teachers' classrooms?

However, because teaching is a complex activity, we also conducted interviews to obtain a fuller understanding. You can read our study to learn more about what teachers said and how their drawings changed as a result of a professional development experience.
