Hello science teachers,
A teaching colleague of mine asked me to pass on this survey to others so
I'm putting it on pinhole.

Dear fellow science teacher:
Before school begins in earnest, we would like to
introduce ourselves to you and solicit a few minutes
of your time to assist us in achieving our common
goals.
We are a new collaboration between science teachers in
grades 6-12, scientists, colleges and universities
(e.g. CSU Hayward and Stanford University), science
and technology companies (e.g. Genentech and Applied
Biosystems), and non-profit organizations from around
the Bay Area. We are developing an integrated program
for professional and leadership development,
in-classroom and professional support, networking, and
long-term systemic improvement.
As a prelude to submitting grant proposals, we are
soliciting essential survey data from active teachers,
exited teachers, school/district administrators, and
scientists. This is to document, and to more fully
understand, the needs and experiences of science
teaching today. We would greatly appreciate your
assistance in 1) completing a Web-based teacher survey
(10-15 minutes), and 2) passing this request on to
your life science teaching colleagues.
This survey requests teacher thoughts and experiences
regarding the teaching profession, preparation for
teaching, support for laboratory-based teaching, and
what would help keep teachers active in the
profession. It is a 20-question survey that can be
completed and submitted on-line. BABEC, the Bay Area
Biotechnology Education Consortium, is hosting the
survey and will post the results when they are all
compiled.
The Teacher Survey is at:
http://www.babec.org/survey/teacher.html
Please take a few minutes to visit the site and to
complete the survey. Thank you very much for your
help.

Survey Coordinator
