Title: A new approach to improving science teacher education in an urban environment


Speaker: 
Richard Steinberg
City College of New York

Abstract: 
After many years of working with science teachers in New York City, 
I wanted to improve my perspective by becoming one of them. I therefore 
spent a yearlong sabbatical as a full time science teacher in an inner 
city public high school. In this presentation I describe my time as a 
college physics professor in this challenging environment. I then 
relate my experiences to CLUSTER, a project intended to recruit 
and train future New York City science teachers.
