Abstract

This panel addresses the collaborative formation of a technology-focused teacher inservice professional development program for secondary science and mathematics teachers in Houston I.S.D. Project S.T.A.R. (Students and Teachers Achieving Results), funded by National Science Foundation, has evolved from a computer technology skills training with a "train-the-trainer" model, into a collaboratively developed multi-stage learning community. Panel members contributed to the current model in which technology has become instrument of instructional change, and not the content focus. Supported by a learning community of professors, project staff members, teacher-facilitators, and community resource persons, participant-teachers overcome the fears associated with working outside their comfort zone in a technology-rich, collaborative setting. Experiencing an equal mix of mathematics, science, and technology, participants working in mathematics and science teacher-pairs undergo unexpected positive changes in the way they view their role as a teacher.
