Hello All science educators and elementary science teachers,

I would like to have the preservice elementary teachers in my class 
interact with elementary level (K-6) teachers before they start teaching in 
schools (student teaching) and also while they are student teaching via a 
ListServe/distribution list that I set up. 

I am interested in science teaching and would like for the student
teachers to have a flavor of what it (science teaching) entails, so that
they are not turned off from teaching science because of their personal
experiences. 

I would like to enlist the help of elementary grade teachers who are
interested in teaching science and do so often, to interact with these
preservice teachers. this will mainly be in the form of answering their
questions and giving them pointers on how to be successful and what to
avoid, to teach science effectively *based on your personal experiences 
and ideas*. I hope there will be various interesting discussions that ensue.

Science content experts (University level teachers) are also welcome to 
join this group to help with science content.  I wold like to get started as 
soon as possible.

If you are interested please respond to my e-mail address at:
nishi@ccwf.cc.utexas.edu

Thank you,
