I enjoy having a professional teaching colleague. My district has supported this idea, allowing me to do curriculum work for numerous projects. I began the process after I was selected California Teacher of the Year. I continued partnering while I served on California Curriculum Commission from 1991-1995. The process still works well today thanks to my great partners.
Science is one of the greatest Internet resources for teachers.
While working on the Internet, teachers might spend hours of searching and come up with nothing. It's framework-friendly, and people know the materials are going to be useful. The information is related to the concepts they're teaching from the science framework. Teachers can link directly to lesson plans or link directly to professional scientists. I personally utilized the 'Ask a Scientist' resource when working on a space shuttle project.
