Questions for reflection:

What practices are we employing on campus now that assist students in learning about science?

How are we addressing student misconceptions in science?

What does the research say about best practices in science education?

What special concerns are we faced with concerning our diverse student population?

What resources do we need to be more successful in reaching students in science courses?

What is working in your classroom?
