Peers, Cheryl (Shelley) E.; Diezmann, Carmel M.; Watters, James J.
Research in Science Education, v33 n1 p89-110 2003
Discusses supporting factors necessary for teacher professional growth and issues of concern that are evident during one primary teacher's implementation of a unit that used constructivist pedagogical strategies. Support factors for teacher growth are found to be an appropriate program of professional development, teacher understanding of the elements of the curriculum innovation, and successful experiences in implementing new approaches.
