| Abstract: | RET summer programs have gained popularity as spaces to prepare teachers to learn about and implement curricula on cutting edge topics in science classrooms. Previous research has utilized teacher identity as a construct to describe teachers' experiences in RET programs as they learn new scientific ideas in research-based settings and experiment with different strategies to translate this learning into classroom curricula. In this work, we adopt relationality, a precursor of identity, as a construct to examine the journey of one teacher participant through a quantum science summer RET program. Using a qualitative case study approach, we analyze this participant's pre and post interviews at the beginning and end of the summer program and identify emergent relationalities of importance. We demonstrate how this teacher's relationalities with both human actors as well as non-human entities evolved and influenced the realization of the goals of the program towards teachers' learning and curriculum development. |
