Randy Yerrick is a professor of science education at San Diego State University. After leaving the field of chemistry he entered education and earned is Ph.D. from Michigan State University in 1993. The focus of his research has been intervention ethnographies of enacting science education reform, specifically targeting underachieving students and lower track classrooms. Since his selection as an Apple Distinguished Educator much of his work has focused on the preparation of teachers entering diverse sociocultural contexts and the role technology can play in promoting equitable science learning contexts.
Wolff-Michael Roth is Lansdowne Professor of Applied Cognitive Science at the University of Victoria. His research focuses on knowing and learning science and mathematics across the lifespan and from kindergarten to professional practice. His recent publications include Toward an Anthropology of Graphing: Semiotic and Activity Theoretical Perspectives (Kluwer, 2003), Talking Science: Language and Learning in ScienceLaboratories (Rowman and Littlefield, 2005), Doing Qualitative Research: Praxis of Method (SensePublishers, 2005), and, with A. C. Barton, Rethinking Scientific Literacy (Routledge, 2004).
Kenneth Tobin is Presidential Professor of Urban Education at the Graduate Center of City College. In 2004 Tobin was recognized by the National Science Foundation as a Distinguished Teaching Scholar and by the Association for the Education of Teachers of Science as Outstanding Science Teacher Educator of the Year. Prior to commencing a career as a teacher educator, Tobin taught high school science and mathematics in Australia and was involved in curriculum design. His research interests are focused on the teaching and learning of science in urban schools, which involve mainly African American students living in conditions of poverty. A parallel program of research focuses on coteaching as a way of learning to teach in urban high schools. Recently Tobin completed an edited volume on urban science education (with Rowhea Elmesky and Gale Seiler) and another on coteaching (with Wolff-Michael Roth). In 2002 Tobin's book with Wolff-Michael Roth, At the elbows of another: Learning to teach through coteaching, received the Choice award in the category of Outstanding Academic Titles.
