Expert STEM Teachers

Modeling is how I became interested in physics as a high school student in the early 1990s.  More students should have this powerful science experience!

Modeling encourages cooperation and discourse about complicated ideas in a non-threatening, supportive environment.

I believe the methods and philosophy of Modeling Instruction have changed physics teaching and have made physics more accessible for all students.

Modeling Instruction motivated me to step back and let students learn through inquiry and my career got a boost!

Modeling has led me to the scientific practice of science education. It helps me focus on what helps my students learn.

Modeling Instruction has changed the way I teach Chemistry. [It] is a very student-centered approach to teaching and I firmly believe that it is the best way to teach. 

I was late about 10 minutes due to a meeting in the office ...students had picked up right where we left off the day before.  One student was acting as moderator.  Teams had whiteboards.  They had created their own review problem and posted it on the front board.
