I am inviting K-6 teachers to join a project funded in the United States by the National Science Foundation. The “Teachers Helping Teachers Teach Inquiry Science: ASK” project is funded by NSF to facilitate sharing among K-6 teachers as well as among educators who work with pre- or in-service K-6 teachers. We facilitate teacher sharing of lessons in which you “teach more than science when teaching inquiry science.” So far, we have 73 science inquiry lessons (each with the teacher’s text notes and lesson video) posted on our website (http://justaskateacher.com). Most of the teachers used inquiry science to facilitate learning in the language arts. To access the lessons, you will need to open a free account on our website with an Email address, username, and password. Our most recent newsletter is attached. We are inviting K-6 teachers to share lessons for posting so that other teachers can use or adapt your science lessons for their own students. If you have a lesson to share but do not have a video of the lesson, we can dial the PolyCom in your classroom and record the lesson and your commentary about the lesson. With your permission, we will edit the lesson for posting, share the full and the edited (12-minute) versions with you, and finally (upon your approval) post the edited and full versions of the lesson on http://justaskateacher.com. Then we will invite other teachers to view the lesson and participate in online discussions of the lesson with you. (If you would like our project staff to record your lesson for other purposes such as national certification, that is possible also). In addition to using our “contact us” link on our website, you can contact me at [email protected]. I hope to hear from you. Charles Matthews
