appointment in Women’s Studies at Purdue University. She holds a B.S. in biology from the University of Alaska Fair- banks, M.S in science education from Connecticut Central State University, and Ed.D. from the University of Massachusetts Amherst. Her research interests include girls’ participation in science and engineering; teacher’s engagement in action research; and science teachers’ integration of the engineering design pro- cess to improve science learning.

becomes imperative that research is done to documentopportunities, issues, and effectiveness of the implementation of theoretically based pedagogicaltools in real classrooms settings with typical instructors.BackgroundIn order to observe, quantify, and research these relationships, an instrument for measuringclassroom and instructor dynamic must be used. The Reformed Teaching ObservationProtocol1,2 (RTOP) is a tool that assesses to what extent a given instructor's classroom behaviorsalign with research-based best-practice principles of classroom practice that promote studentengagement and effective teaching and learning. It gives researchers a valid and reliablequantifiable insight as to how “reformed” the instructor’s actions are based on best

J Krause, Arizona State University Stephen Krause, Arizona State University Stephen J. Krause is Professor in the School of Materials in the Fulton School of Engineering at Arizona State University. He teaches in the areas of bridging engineering and education, design and selection of materials, general materials engineering, polymer science, and characterization of materials. His research interests are in innovative education in engineering and K- 12 engineering outreach. He has been working on Project Pathways, an NSF supported Math Science Partnership, in developing modules for Physics and Chemistry and also a course on Engineering Capstone Design. He has also co-developed a Materials Concept Inventory for
