This experience of working with teachers and?
students in the field-- especially at the
Research Station --has deeply ?affected my
personal view of myself as a science teacher. The
connections I was able to develop with my
colleagues, and the insight I gained from
working ?along side students as their equals has
had a much greater impact on my? enthusiasm and
commitment to teaching than any professional
development I have encountered over the
years.? Gayle Brichert-Albrecht, Science
