How did your work with your team help you meet the professional growth goals you set for yourself?
We were able to adjust the entire curriculum at our school to be more in line with state standards and bring more understanding of scientific inquiry to other teacher's at my school.

How did your work with your team impact your content knowledge and pedagogy?
We brainstormed through writing some inquiry based lessons for the school and increased our knowledge and experience through the process.

What materials / resources / workshops did you use / produce / host with your team members over the last year?
We made check lists of state descriptors We set up labs and made packets to be inquiry-learning friendly We wrote lesson plans for science fair starters We scaffolded books and put science in some of te other content areas.

Based on the past year, what ideas do you have to improve the effectiveness of your team interactions?
It has been very hard to get them motivated to work out side of our time together. We tried to plan a regional workshop, but everyone back out whenthey saw the time commitment involved. I am hoping to motivate them to that the time is not such an issue. I feel this would make us a more effect, cohesive unit.
