The purpose of this assignment is to reflect on your vision of high-quality science teaching and to reflect on any changes in your vision that the course
material may have brought about. There are no right or wrong answers to the questions below. Make sure you answer each question.
After you have drafted your current vision, write an additional page that includes your reflections about ways your vision has changed and things you want to
learn more about in the future so your revision can become a reality in your classroom.
