- Abstract
The article focuses on the collaborative effort between Fort Hays State University and Emporia State University in Kansas that resulted in the development of a unique professional development institute which aims to provide workshops for middle school science teachers in rural areas. The institute was managed concurrently at the two universities and coordinated through distance-education technologies. Workshops offered by the institute mainly focus on preparing teachers how to implement a modeling, pedagogical approach to improve the teaching and learning of high school physics.
