[Phys-l] article on MODELING INSTRUCTION, in The Science Educator: NSELA journal



Colleagues,
Yesterday an eight-page published article about Modeling Instruction was
posted on the NSELA website.
http://www.nsela.org/publications/publications1.html

It's very readable; you'll like it.
Consider downloading it and giving it to science and engineering colleagues
who care about high quality, research-informed K-12 instruction.

We will post a link to it, on the modeling website.
cheers,
Jane Jackson
