This institute is for science supervisors, staff developers and teacher leaders in position to train and support educators in their district.
Building Capacity for Classroom Inquiry
Pre-requisite: completed Introduction to Inquiry
This institute is the second part of Introduction to Inquiry: Professional Development Design.
Teaching Science through Inquiry
This institute is designed for the classroom teacher who would like to learn more about inquiry-based education and how to implement it into their classroom.
