Teaching Science Through the Inquiry Process

PI/PD:Marian Pasquale
Funder:Massachusetts State Science & Engineering Fair
Duration:2008 - 2008
The Center for Science Education is working with the Massachusetts State Science and Engineering Fair to help design and develop a sustainable, scalable model of teacher professional development in inquiry-based learning. The goal of the six-day course is to enable middle and high school teachers to enhance their science curricula with inquiry-based lessons that will help students develop science literacy and acquire workplace skills such as critical thinking, communication, teamwork, and perseverance. CSE staff have field tested the Teaching Science Through the Inquiry Process course and will finalize a facilitator’s guide to be used to instruct middle and high school science teachers throughout the state.
