This workshop is based on the "Fundamentals of Inquiry" professional development program and incorporates the Next Generation Science Standards. Summer Inquiry Institute Dates June 13–15, 2022, 9 a.m. –3 p.m. each day. Who is this workshop for? The Inquiry Institute works with K-12 teachers, afterschool and informal educators, preservice teachers and the university community.

What are other educators saying? "I have actionable items that I can definitely take back to my school. Having been to a lot of inquiry-based workshops, this was definitely one of the best." -Kyle, 2019"I'm excited because the three days made me realize that I do inquiry already for some lessons and for the ones I don't I can make shifts easily!" -Kellie, 2018"Rather than leaving with a binder of daunting materials to read, I left with firsthand experience and knowledge that is 100% feasible for me to implement." -Jill, 2017 What Is Inquiry? Good science education requires learning scientific concepts and developing scientific thinking skills. Inquiry is an approach to learning that involves exploring the natural or material world, which leads to asking questions, making discoveries and testing those discoveries in the search for new understanding. Inquiry, as it relates to science education, should mirror the enterprise of doing real science as closely as possible.
