																																	<p>This week, four of our intrepid authors have joined staff from <a href="http://cemse.uchicago.edu/" target="_blank">The University of Chicago&#8217;s Center for Elementary Mathematics and Science Education (CEMSE)</a> as they begin a major research project at Central Bucks School District in Southeastern PA.</p>
<p>We are very excited about this project, as it will help define how inquiry science works in the classroom, and should be helpful to educators cross country.&#160;Belinda, Colleen, and Diane, and Lance, our authors are on hand throughout the week, and will be talking to teachers about their experiences with Science Companion. Belinda will be leading a PD workshop at the Chester County Intermediate Unit about inquiry in the classroom.</p>
<p>Over this next week, we will be sharing what they&#8217;re learning about and what they&#8217;re teaching here on our website as well, so you can join us on our field trip. We&#8217;ll share PD workshops, updates, etc.</p>
<p>And like any good adventure, before all of the hard work starts, our travelers needed to have great dinner. They met Carolyn, our miracle-worker graphic designer at a PA restaurant. (We do most of our work with Carolyn via email or phone, so actually meeting in person is a real treat!)</p>
<p>Belinda, Colleen, Carolyn, and Diane at dinner:</p>
