Dissemination and Evaluation Active dissemination will be achieved by use of an advisory committee composed of national leaders in science education. Each is an acknowledged leader in science education and reform. Their endorsement of the capstone course will draw attention to, and lead to eventual adoption of, the capstone course. We also plan to host a conference featuring workshops led by UM-D faculty, presentations by students on misconceptions and one plenary speaker from the advisory committee. Sessions modeling some of the laboratory explorations will use conference participants as students.
Passive dissemination includes presentations at various regional and national meetings.
