One of
the goals of the NASA Education Workshops is to produce a cadre of scientists
who are regarded as leaders and role models for scientific colleagues who become
involved in K-12 education. In this section, SSI plans to highlight individual
participants who are successfully incorporating the ideas from the workshops
in developing their EPO programs. If you are a past workshop participant interested
in contributing a "success story", send email to Susan Solari, solari@colorado.edu.

"The SSI Workshop was a turning point for me as a science educator. I'd given many presentations in classrooms and teacher's workshops, but knew very little about cognitive science and its implications for education, or about the way school systems really work. The workshop gave me a foundation for the next stage of outreach work - outreach as a form of scholarship." |

"EPO program now makes much more use of previously developed materials instead of using self-designed materials as I realize that the research base and field-testing done makes the products much more effective than any I can create on my own." |
