Bringing
Scientists and Educators Closer Together Those
who become teachers in K-12 schools receive their education and attitudes
about science from the science courses they take in college. The nature
and quality of the courses as well as the nature of science that teachers
take from these courses are in the purview of science faculty. But
there is often little discussion among science, science education
and education faculty members. To encourage this conversation AAAS
convened teams of administrators for science and education in 1996
from 50 universities. A major finding from the conference was that
quality teachers of science are only developed when active partnerships
are created among those who share responsibility for their education.
The results of this dialogue, Seizing Opportunities: Collaborating
for Excellence in Teacher Preparation, will be reprinted in our
Archives in coming months. |
