With the lead evaluator for the 1999 and 2000 Annual Evaluation Reports, I interviewed Science and Mathematics university/college professors and administrators, and K-12 Science and Mathematics teachers in Montana's K-12 and university/colleges, which included the state's tribal colleges. We conducted focus groups; created and administered questionnaires in order to compile, assess, and write annual reports for submission to the National Science Foundation in keeping with the grant guidelines for the Systemic Teacher Excellence Preparation Project (STEP), one of the NSF's Collaboratives for Excellence in Teacher Preparation projects ~One of my best career and learning experiences - making significant positive changes in the world!
