From this research base six core components of what constitutes „high quality‟professional development were found in multiple studies. These components include:  Immersing participants (teachers) in inquiry, questioning and experimentation;  Intensive and sustained support;  Engaging teachers in concrete teaching tasks that integrate teacher‟s experiences;  Focusing on subject-matter knowledge and deepening teacher content knowledge;  Providing explicit connections between the Professional Development activities and student outcome goals; and  Providing connections to larger issues of education/school reforms.

communities believe that an engineering focus,particularly design activities, provides valuable context, application opportunities, andmotivation for student learning as well as teacher engagement. 4 5 Design approaches to scienceteaching can focus student attention on solving specific problems, as in the Learning by Design(LBD) method developed by Kolodner et al.6 LBD purposefully links the design aspects ofproblem solving with an “investigate and explore” phase, which in significant ways resemblesand reinforces the process of science inquiry. Fortus et al.’s 7 design-based science units have asimilar orientation. Modeling and design activities can also be used very deliberately to illustrateand make concrete science concepts, such as mechanical

organization. We decided tohave interested youth join college students directly within the game courses and work alongsideeach other. If we could demonstrate that this approach would engage the participants, then wecould offer a template for a relatively cheap way to provide an outreach program. Moreover, wecould show how academic groups could partner with local community organizations using games.2.3 The Outreach ProgramOur outreach program found college student volunteers who mentored with apprentices (alsocalled interns). TLW gathered a list of prospective apprentices, screened by the courseinstructor(s). While the college student groups coalesced early in the semester, the instructorcalled for mentors and matched apprentices to them. The
