Being a teacher without a classroom and even without a district right now has made it difficult to create change in science instruction.  For now the best that I can hope to do is to share what I have learned with other teachers like we did in this week’s application assignment with sharing the instructional plan.  That experience has shown me that I can create change on the small scale and maybe the changes I make will allow other teachers to create change on a larger scale within their schools and the districts they are in. 

The next step for me would be to share the information I found on inequality this week regarding females, minorities, students with disabilities, and the gifted& talented in order to increase their exposure and the opportunities they have within science.
