Abstract

In this chapter, it is argued that in order to be able to participate in authentic science through something like a research apprenticeship, students and teachers alike must be well versed in what professional scientists do as they conduct their research. Partnerships with working scientists can be leveraged in a number of ways to do just this. As a result, teachers and students can be made aware of the professional work of scientists and the ways in which they can participate in and mentor others to engage in authentic research both in and out of the classroom.
