This part of the rubric examines the degree to which students are allowedto exert agency and participate in team-learning environments that reflect real-world contextsand social impacts. The rubric encourages activities that engage every student, ensuring that alleducational experiences are hands-on and relevant to students' lived experiences andsocioeconomic backgrounds.Each of these sections contains specific items, totaling 27, which describe behaviors andpractices ranging from those that perpetuate inequity to those that foster an inclusive atmosphere.For example, under the "Head" section, item 1

These are reflected in their use of specific tools and approaches whileproblem-solving, modelling, prototyping, evaluating, and sharing design solutions [5], [12],[13]. Many engineers use notebooks or design journals to document their knowledgeconstruction and reflections as they engage in the engineering design process andcommunicate with various audiences [9], [13], [14]. Engineers learn how to use thesenotebooks through a process of apprenticeship within their professional community ofpractice and practical experience [5], [9], [12], [13], [15].

Some of the challenges reported are consistent messaging, classhousekeeping, overlapping roles, the dominance of one discipline, loss of individual autonomy,and poor logistics [2], [5].This paper discusses a team-taught engineering course for pre-college students.

Indeed, theenactment of engineering design learning opportunities in field-based experiences is also evidentin some studies where engineering is emphasized in specific methods courses [7], [9]. Thesefield-based experiences, whether they occur during student teaching or in conjunction withmethods coursework, provide future elementary teachers with the opportunity to plan, teach, andreflect on their implementation of engineering design lessons.

This skillset allows teachers to adjust their instruction and respond tounexpected situations during their teaching. As previously mentioned, three indicators ofadaptive expertise in teaching include: flexibility, deep-level understanding, and deliberatepractice [16]. Flexibility in teaching shows adaptive expertise in that teachers are not beholden totheir lesson plans exactly as written; they are responsive to the needs of students during thelearning experience [19].

There were casesin which data sources conflicted (e.g., one design plan written in a journal but another enacted);we noted those conflicts in the design summaries. Even when we primarily drew from one datasource (e.g., interviews for RQ1) in answering a research question, we could interpret evidencefrom that data source in the
