Scientific paper
For several years I have been participating in the NSF-funded Summer Institutes and ongoing academic-year Continuation Course offered by the Physics Education Group at the University of Washington. The in-depth content understanding necessary for me to implement inquiry successfully in my middle-school classroom has grown as a result of these professional development opportunities. Physics by Inquiry1, a research-based curriculum developed by the group, addressed my understanding of topics relevant to the curricula I am expected to teach and served as a model both for content and instructional practice. In this talk, I will discuss the implementation of inquiry in my classroom and the effects on student achievement. I will also provide examples of the ways that collaboration with other teachers has contributed to my professional development.
