Frequencies and varieties of representational mode usage were analyzed. The dataanalyses were intended to help us understand if the usage of representational modes facilitated Page 26.747.8learning and/or vice versa. Figures 3 and 4 show how students applied multiple representationaltools while working on one problem in the first exam. The problem asked students to use phasorto analyze an AC RCL circuit and is shown in Figure 2

impacts (ACS) when teaching these units with realworld connections. The “Provide” factor is the initial factor that should change as a result ofprofessional development because these statements relate to teacher-centric behaviors. The“Guide” factor typically develops more slowly because it is related to intentionally changingone’s practices to more student-centered instructional approaches. The final factor, “Connect,”has the teachers incorporating information specifically related to the real world applications andcareers into their units. This last factor does not include EDP and will not be included in thispaper. See Table 1 for list of questions used in the Current Instructional Practices survey andtheir mapping to the different attributes

come to illustrate how self-imposed decisions at one time can constrain future ac-tions. We know from a long line of psychological studies that when we make decisions in themoment, they are not always well thought out and may in fact be detrimental to us in the fu-ture 8,9 . And even when we make a decision beforehand, if it is too easy to break that decisionwhen it matters, it is an empty decision. Constraining our future actions in such a way that wecannot change that decision has becoming known as a Ulysses Contract (sometimes also calledSelf-Paternalism 10 ). The canonical example comes from the therapy of addiction, where an alco-holic will pour their liquor down the drain in a moment of clarity to prevent drinking at a latermoment of
