Robert Donmoyer from the National Center for Science Teaching and Learning in Columbus, Ohio, challenges administrators to eliminate barriers to systemic reform. Excerpted from NCREL's videoseries, Schools That Work: The Research Advantage, videoconference 3, Children as Explorers (NCREL, 1991).
"We've had a pretty good sense of how science aught to be taught, so one of our goals is to ask what can we do, what can administrators, what can policy makers to make it more likely that that kind of teaching is going to occur and what can we do to make sure that we stop some of the blocks that currently occur."
