about students’ career decision makingto inform advising or career center programs or activities.When forming a CoP, it is also necessary to be intentional about how new members moveinto and through the community. In PEPS, the research team constituted the initial coregroup [5]. However, we needed to quickly recruit members for a potential new coregroup. Who among our six partner institutions would be good candidates for the newcore? The research team needed to have individual conversations with each partner tolearn about their interests and to elicit suggestions for activities that would bring thegroup together in a meaningful way. The research team also needed to ascertain whichpartner(s) might have the time, interest, and background to be a

Teacher participants were selected based on the quality of a statement of their interest inconducting research and participating in professional development, letters of recommendationfrom their principals, years of in-service teaching, the demographics of the students that theyteach, and the science subject(s) they teach. There were 11 teachers in the first cohort: 4 teacherswho participated in the program at TU and 7 teachers who participated at PU. Once the teachers had been accepted into the program, they were introduced (virtually) totheir resesearch advisors, with the intent of having some preliminary discussion about projectsahead of their arrival on campus. These discussions began about six weeks prior to the start ofthe on-campus

facultyclassroom practice (RTOP Z-score). This study also found that faculty classroom practice isrelated to student outcomes and that student-centered teaching practices are related to bettergrades and less course withdrawals. In other words shifting faculty practices towards student-centeredness would likely lead to lower percentages of DEW student grades. Providing effectivefaculty development opportunities in student-centered instruction is therefore highlyrecommended in order to mend the gap between faculty beliefs and practice and to promote morepositive student outcomes.AcknowledgementThis material is based upon work supported by the National Science Foundation under Grant No.1226586.Bibliography1 M.
