ABSTRACT: Jane Jackson, in a Physoc post of 1 July 2009, called
attention to Tobias & Baffert's (2009) FREE online book "Science
Teaching as a Profession: Why It Isn't, How It Could Be." I join Jane
in urging teachers to (a) read the Tobias/Baffert book, and (b) work
collectively to promote increased professionalism in high-school
science teaching, one of the country's most vital occupations.
Biologist James Gentile, in a Huffington Post article at
<http://tinyurl.com/nh2uo2> provides an excellent review of Tobias &
Baffert's (2009) book in the context of "Improving Science Teaching
in America's Schools."
