How did your work with your team help you meet the professional growth goals you
set for yourself?
My goals were met through addressing inquiry-based authentic classroom science; discussion of mentoring and networking; connections to researchers and their offer of on-going support to our team; mutual sharing of resources, materials, teaching tips and professional opportunities; and professional rejuvenation through networking.
How did your work with your team impact your content knowledge and pedagogy?
We have very different teaching experiences, training and styles—this is positive and mutually beneficial because we can learn from each other.
