In June 2024 three PIs gathered in Park City, Utah for a four day retreat. During the retreat they responded to questions for the most recent NSF grant proposal, revised and prepared a manuscript about the Building practice and planned for another manuscript that focuses on analyzing the noticing of teacher-researchers from the last round of enactments.
