Having
taught many different sciences over the years, in
addition to our background experiences in biological research, we are
eager to help and share knowledge with teachers to improve their
understanding of how science concepts are woven together to form
patterns, and how these patterns can be applied toward
understanding the world around us.
Arming teachers with confidence and providing a comfort level for teaching difficult science concepts, allows teachers to want to "pay it forward" to their students. This can help ensure educational success. It is also imperative that we encourage our teachers to motivate, engage and challenge our students by introducing them to some of fantastic opportunities arising in the field of science.
Assisting teachers with science content is a vehicle to ensure that we continue to gain ground toward raising the bar in science education, and that we clear the hurdle toward keeping our students' interest, and allow them to share in the responsibility for their own learning.
