Quarterly Science Summit
An ongoing teacher training series in inquiry-based learning.

Four times each year, BOOST will host interactive teacher training workshops open to a small group of Durham middle school science teachers and fifth grade teachers. Two evenings each semester, the group will convene for two-hour sessions at the North Carolina School of Science and Math to gain hands-on training in methods of inquiry-based learning and other innovative approaches to science education and curricular enhancement. The continuity of the quarterly series will allow you to implement new approaches in your classroom, then come back and discuss results, successes, and challenges with your fellow teachers and series instructors. Content of future sessions will be based on participants' evolving needs and experiences.

Dinner will be provided for participants. If needed, we can help arrange child care. For more information on the Science Summit, contact BOOST Project Coordinator David Stein at 668-6271 or david.stein@duke.edu.
