While at the National Science Foundation (NSF), Cabot spent most of his time working on and supporting activities associated with NSF Teacher preparation initiatives. He was an active member of grant selection and program review committees that affected the training of pre-service K-12 math and science teachers. His biggest project was the preparation of a comprehensive report of “best practices” stemming from the work of the NSF-funded Collaboratives for Excellence in Teacher Preparation. Cabot states, “This has been a great learning opportunity for me, both as to the role of the government in science education reform and in my own professional development as an educator.”
