Effecting Change

As a science teacher leader for my school district I am constantly in contact with other science teachers.  We attend monthly meetings together to collaborate and share ideas with one another.  We also communicate through email.  We talk to one another about quality science that is happening in our classrooms and around our schools to encourage one another to spread the word.

The main challenge that I have continued to encounter is the lack of time to talk with colleagues and the lack of time to spend teaching science.  My district puts a big emphasis on teaching reading and mathematics, with district assessment in these areas every three weeks.  I continue to talk with colleagues about integrating science and technology into our reading, writing, and math lessons.
