Bringing Guided-Inquiry Curricula into Science and Mathematics
Classrooms
A one-and-a-half-day workshop
for middle- and high-school science and math teachers
(stipends available for in-service teachers)
Sponsored by the University of Maine Center
for Science and Mathematics Education Research and The
Jackson Laboratory, with support from the Howard Hughes
Medical Institute and the Balfour Foundation
Dates: 8:00 Monday, June 20 – 1:30 Tuesday,
June 21, 2005
Location: MBNA Conference Facility in Northport,
ME
This workshop explored
ways to give students the opportunity to develop their own
evidence-based understanding
of science and math concepts
by researching and solving content-rich problems.
Drawing from
examples in physics, chemistry, mathematics, biology, and
Earth sciences, presentations focused on
- using research in the classroom to identify what students
know, and how they learn
- using that information to develop guided inquiry instruction
for students
Additional sessions delved into
- Use
of technology in teaching
inquiry
- Strategies for guiding students through inquiry
- Strategies
for creating a classroom culture that facilitates
inquiry
- Assessing student learning
The workshop was open to 60 participants on a first-come,
first-served basis. At least 45 spaces were held for in-service
and pre-service teachers. In-service teachers from the
State of Maine received a $200 stipend for attending the entire
workshop. The workshop was free of charge to participants
and included accommodations for Monday night and all meals.
Presenters included:
- Dr. Fred Goldberg, San Diego State University,
Center for Research in Mathematics and Science Education
- Mary Finnemore and John Sterling, Chemistry
teachers, Skowhegan Area High School
- Dr. Michelle Stephan, Lawton Chiles Middle
School and The University of Central Florida
- Dr. Joseph Polman, University of Missouri
– St Louis, E. Desmond Lee Technology and Learning
Center
and faculty and graduate students from the University of
Maine Master of Science Teaching Program.
