Dear Colleagues,
Hope you find this of value or can forward it to people who would!
Log on to the Institute for Inquiry's new Web site at
www.exploratorium.edu/IFI
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
* And much more!
For more than thirty 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, we've made many
of our 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 our institute graduates in more
than 39 states.
Do you know someone who might find these resources useful?
Feel free to forward this email.
Fred Stein
Science Educator
