Comments from participants
- "The trainers were incredibly knowledgeable, helpful, and creative. Their organization, planning, and instruction increased my content knowledge and my ability to plan an inquiry-based curriculum."
- "I have applied my deeper understanding of chemistry in my classroom by integrating concepts and lessons. I am also having my students be more proactive learners."
- "As a first-year teacher, I was able to see the real learning value of hands-on labs and how to use the "engage, explore, and explain" strategies. My understanding of just lecturing and sometimes giving the answer has shifted to assessing, hands-on learning, questioning, hands-on learning, explaining, and finally, assessing."
- "Wow! I am very optimistic about the coming school year. This has given me many ideas on how to work out the bugs (or dry parts) of my curriculum. This was well worth my time!"
