Professional Development Design Institute
Exploring Inquiry Through Questioning
June 14-18, 1999
A five day institute that provides participants with skills and materials that will enable them to design and deliver inquiry experiences in professional development settings for novice as well as veteran teachers.
Who should attend:
A team of two summer of 1996 and/or 1997 Keystone participants, curriculum directors, curriculum committee members, staff develop and administrators (limit of 50 participants)
This Institute Includes:
- An exploration of the fundamental elements of designing successful inquiry-based professional development programs
- Examples of materials generated by current inquiry staff development projects
- Experience with materials and activities that can be used to provide inquiry experiences in classrooms and professional development settings
- Small-group discussions to examine strategies for implementing inquiry-based learning in classrooms and professional development settings
- Development of a collegial network for future support
- Strategies for integrating curriculum
In this experience, participants explore the questions that are fundamental to developing inquiry experiences, including: What are good starting points for investigations? What is the role of materials? How can good questions be encouraged? How is inquiry learning best facilitated? How can conceptual understanding be developed through inquiry? Participants have the opportunity to experience inquiry, and to analyze its anatomy and structure.
