11. 11 Intel ISEF Educator Academy Reflection The key learning from the Educator Academy that relates to our plan was how the Intel Teach program can support Goal 2 in providing technical assistance to teachers to increase the culture of academic inquiry in classrooms The Shop Talks that was the most beneficial were the ones related to academic inquiry programs as a connection to post secondary institutions and research laboratories that should increase participation in academic competitions. A type of Shop Talk missing for us had to do with specific example of how public schools and school districts develop successful plans for increasing participation in research competitions. Would Intel consider developing Teach programs that would more directly support academic inquiry?
