What is the teacher's role in WISE?

The teacher's primary role in any WISE activity is to facilitate. Teachers should guide their students through the project when necessary, occassionally bringing the class's attention to the center of the room to let students discuss learnings and ask questions as a large group. Teachers should circulate around the room, interacting with small groups of students while the others are proceeding through the activities. Close interaction between students and teacher is far more meaningful!
