The study focused on the following three objectives: 1) analyzing feedback
from panelists regarding issues and strategies identified in the Glenn Commission Report
for enhancing teaching quality, 2) building group consensus regarding visions, actions,
and strategies for effective science teaching and professional development, and 3)
moving from rhetoric to reality in addressing the policy imperatives needed in the next 10
years for policymakers to instigate at the national, state and local levels for enhancing
effective science teaching practice
