Abstract
In this chapter, I will share what we learned about the identity construction of informal science educators engaged in a project called STEPS (The Science Theater Education Programming System). Perhaps more importantly, I will share an identity-based conceptual framework for considering how professional learning programs and environments for informal science educators may be re-invented as vehicles for self-discovery in order to tap into the full potential these individuals bring and the quickly evolving field they comprise.
