This work has been supported in part by a grant from the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation in Menlo Park, California. In addition, many people provided assistance with and inspiration for this site:
The STEP '00 teachers
whose work is included in this site contributed much time and effort in creating and writing their cases during the Principles of Teaching for Learning class. We thank all the STEP teachers who generously shared their cases, and give special thanks to
Sonya, Mika, Jessica and Rick, who allowed us to feature their work more extensively and who gave their time and energy in interviews about their learning. We also gratefully thank the STEP teachers
who gave permission for their photographs to be included in the site, enabling us to better provide a sense of the context of the PLT class and the STEP program.
Tom Hatch's work on the scholarship of teaching inspired the development of this site. Throughout the design of this site, Tom provided important conceptual guidance, suggestions and feedback which have
significantly shaped the design and theoretical backbone of this site. His website investigating the teaching of his school reform class also provided some key ideas and formats that contributed to the structure of this site.
Desiree Pointer provided a wealth of assistance and tutoring in web design and technique, and much-needed technical support.
