I think it is important to keep the focus of education research on the educators and the students. As a Noyce Master Teacher Fellow I want to be able to ensure that the classroom teachers have the opportunity to continue their own education by helping them develop better pedological techniques and learning about new technology and strategies to better serve their students. I also believe that inquiry science is an excellent way to teach students about abstract concepts within the scientific world however it is very important to have excellent structure and scaffolding to support that methodologies in place in order to ensure success on the students part while minimizing their frustration and misconceptions regarding scientific fields.
