I would like to help districts move forward from wherever they are in implementation of the NCCRS science standards. As a Noyce MTF I have been learning more about science education research as well as current best practices in science education. I hope to use this information to help build our state's professional network of science teachers in order to create a more collaborative effort statewide. I would also like to help districts' efforts by including administrators and post-secondary institutions as a part of the implementation solution. I truly believe Nebraska is leading the nation in this effort. We can be a role model for other states that are working to make these monumental science reforms happen as well.
