New Exploratorium Inquiry Resources for Science Educators
http://www.exploratorium.edu/ifi
Log on to the Institute for Inquiry's new Web site and you'll find a wealth of free online resources, including:
* Over 50 hours of professional development curricula
* A library of inquiry and education resources selected for the field
* Tools for teachers and teacher-educators
* Access to a community of education practitioners and programs
* Information about Institute for Inquiry workshops
For more than 30 years, the Exploratorium's Institute for Inquiry has been helping education professionals sensitively introduce inquiry to classroom teachers across the country. Now, with major funding from the National Science Foundation, they have made many of their most successful workshops available for professional developers to use in their own districts.
Ten new Facilitator's Guides -- five that introduce teachers to science inquiry, and five that investigate the use of formative assessment in the classroom -- are now available, free online. These workshop designs have been used by Exploratorium institute graduates in more than 39 states.
