Instructional Materials Showcase

The Instructional Materials Showcase is a one-day opportunity for teachers, administrators, and curriculum directors to participate in interactive sessions demonstrating selected exemplary elementary, middle, and high school inquiry-centered science instruction materials that are research–based.

Educators should attend the Instructional Materials Showcase if they would like answers to any of the following questions:

  • What does inquiry-centered science teaching and learning look like?
  • What inquiry-centered instructional materials are available?
  • How does one evaluate and compare materials to ensure that my particular program is the one best suited for my school district and students?
  • How well do these material programs align with state and national standards?
  • How much professional development is required to implement inquiry-centered science?
