I was academic director for the Woodrow Wilson National Fellowship Foundation National Leadership Institutes for High School Biology Teachers from 1991-1997. As such I am very interested in promoting fun, active science learning in as many high schools as possible. With help from NSF, I am now involved in forming high school-college partnerships. Also, I direct pre-college outreach programs at Hope College which are funded by the Howard Hughes Medical Institute. These include a 6th/7th Grade Science Recreation Program and a 7th/8th Grade Science Demonstrators Program and a 9th/10th Grade Research Club.  Alos, am also doing a series of technology professional development with the Hope College Faculty.  See the Web page FindingNew Pencils: Appropriate Integration of Technology and Teaching for moreinformation.
