Abstract	When most teachers hear the phrase "professional development," skepticism clouds their faces. But research-based professional development can provide interesting experiences and valuable content knowledge. The Research Experience for Teachers (RET) program, funded by the National Science Foundation, helps "facilitate professional development of K-12 teachers and community college faculty through strengthened partnerships between institutions of higher education and local school districts; and encourages researchers to build mutually rewarding partnerships with teachers." In this article, the author shares the valuable lessons she learned from participating in a RET program for two summers. Through this professional development partnership, the author attained greater in-depth knowledge of molecular biology, virology, and gene therapy research; became more familiar with cutting-edge lab techniques that teach students important skills for college; and brought summer research experience back to the classroom through a problem-based learning (PBL) gene therapy module. (Contains 3 figures.) (ERIC).
