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 have been endorsed by the National Science Foundation.

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?
