Total hours of collaboration with each team member:
The nature of our opportunituies for collaboratoion make it unrealisticto estimate total time of collaboration. Any estimate made would be extremely rough at best.

Additional reflections:
Much of the collaboration with my support team has been in development of new activities related to National and state science standards. Polar links have been developed as appropriate. We have also spent a significant amount of time working with preservice teachers in the development of classroom activities and application of standards for futurte teachers. I believe that this aspect of our collaboration to be as important if not more so that our contirbutions to our own classrooms.
