Itis because of this integration with the practicing science community that teachers feel theirknowledge of science has greater validity, and subsequently, teachers feel excitement for gettingback to their classroom to share their experience in the role of practicing scientist with students.Research Experiences for Teachers and the Impact on StudentsStudent impact from the RET model of professional development is of great interest to the NSFand to those responsible for administering such programs. It is easy enough to put highlymotivated, effective teachers into an engineering research lab, an act that will have numerouspositive impacts, and receive incredibly
