Science as Inquiry in the Secondary Setting
Tue, Jul 15, 2008 3:17 PM
Great inquiry professional development in a book
As a teacher educator working with pre-service and in-service high school chemistry teachers who are interested in modifying their materials and instruction to be more inquiry-based, this book has served as the most important resource. Often teachers feel that a major overhaul of the curriculum is necessary to implement inquiry. Llewellyn's "baby steps" provide the strategies for making incremental changes to existing classroom activities and make transitioning to inquiry more manageable. Moreover, the book clearly and concisely describes the relevant teaching/learning theory and bridges it to teacher practice, so readers understand the rationale behind the author’s recommendations. As the national and now most state standards call for inquiry-based science programs, teachers need support and effective professional development for meaningful reform to occur. Reading this book is a key first step to implementing inquiry, and it will likely become an important resource in your professional library.
