planned around university-based models and expectations that may not be sensi-
tive to sociohistoric community contexts and relationships with science and science
education. Hindsight reveals that we have made many false steps, but also that we
seem to be moving in the right direction. Our project has not only had positive
results in the areas of our initial focus but also it has had ripple affects that we did
not foresee.
