• Helps students develop the habits of scientific thinking: questioning, observing, testing, analyzing, and revising their ideas?

• Sees science not just as a body of knowledge, but as a way for students to better understand the world around them and their place within it

• Builds strong relationships with students and creates classrooms where curiosity is encouraged, mistakes are part of learning, and all voices are valued
