Workplan

Project Goals:
 * 1) Teachers will identify best practices in inquiry based science instruction in rubrics or checklists.
 * 2) Teachers develop improved science inquiry lessons aligned with the new Essential Standards and create assessments based on best practices.
 * 3) Using lessons previously developed and compiled with concept specific interventions, enrichment and teaching strategies, students demonstrate growth from pre and post tests.
