Survey Implementation
In February 2010, Dr. Korenic sent a letter to all participants who had ever been
in the River Falls program dating back to its inception in 1986 seeking their willingness
to participate in the survey. The invitation to participate in the survey went out to
approximately 211 people. These people covered the entire spectrum of involvement
with the Summer Physics Program. It was hoped that by reaching out to a wide variety of
participants, a wide variety of perspectives and/or teaching situations and strategies
would be revealed. The link to the survey was contained in this introductory letter.
Based on survey responses, seven teachers were invited to serve as case study
participants.
