This article recounts the development of Living in Water , a science curriculum for the middle grades, and the teacher training institute that was developed to disseminate the curriculum. This article also reviews how the teacher training institute was modified in response to findings from the evaluations of each of the three institutes that the authors presented. The evaluations included analysis of the teacher training institutes, the attitudes of the master teachers, the attitudes of the in‐service workshop participants, and the demographics of the students who ultimately were taught using the Living in Water curriculum.
