"I thought it would be another math and science conference. But it was a lot different. We learned, and then we talked about how to teach. Children love activities that give them these wonderful "aha!" moments, like talking about roller coasters to explain science." – Ramona, Torrance

"So much of what we did, we can bring back to the classroom, like the link between math and science, we don't need to treat them as separate lessons. "I did well. I never dreaded math and science." – Lin, San Diego
"We want to bring back skills we've developed here and give them to other teachers in the district. It makes me excited about getting back in the classroom." – Gerald, Bayonne
"It turned my attitude of science around. ... Science isn't so bad. I actually like it now. I feel like I understand it now on a bigger scale and now I'll be able to come back to my students and let them understand it as well." – Megan, Joilet
