Suzanne and others:  I was very happy to see Suzanne's message as I too 
have been just making it through this semester --reading but not 
responding.  We are in the 4th and last year of a secondary TE project 
and I spend a great deal of time in the schools.  The question of scaling 
up has been a difficult one for us as we have documented the amount of 
support used by teachers as they switch from lecture driven to inquiry 
driven classrooms.  It appears that this level of support is not going to 
be funded in the future so I have doubts about scaling up.  We are in the 
process of producing a CD with the ultimate goal of putting this 
information out on WEBB pages so that teachers could access information 
on the process of change as defined by our project teachers.
