We describe curriculum, the professional developmentactivities, present results from the evaluation of the professional development, preliminaryteacher feedback from implementation of the pilot, and curricular updates for the nextprofessional development session. We will also demonstrate the mobile application thatcomplements the curriculum and student interaction, previously described in past work[3].Literature ReviewPrior research on interdisciplinary teaching highlights the benefits of integrating engineering

Each teacher received afuel cell car kit for participating in the workshop. The car was assembled before the workshop;therefore, workshop time was not devoted to the assembly of the car. The development of theworkshop materials was guided by the National Science Teachers Association teachingstandards2 and the Alabama Science and Math Curriculum Standards3 for middle schoolteachers. The national science teaching standards supported by the National Science TeachersAssociation were produced by the National Research Council4 in 1995 and published in 1996.The workshop activities alternated

As such, the understanding of peer interactions has played animportant role in the way curriculum is developed for the established fields of education. With the relatively recent interest in expanding the educational curriculum frameworks toinclude concepts of engineering and technology, educators are looking for effective methods ofaddressing these new curriculum changes.

First, IISMEappoints veteran teacher Peer Coaches to work with teachers to plan and create lessons, materialsand resources for classroom use. Second, all teachers are required to produce at least one lessonor curriculum module, called the Education Transfer Plan (ETP), before returning to theclassroom. Teachers are given a great deal of freedom to develop an ETP that reflects theirsummer experience and will be useful to them, but the ETPs must meet rigorous standards andbe aligned with California State Teaching Standards.
