Enhancing Science Education Through Inquiry and Rigor: Project Goals and Assessment Overview

The focus of this project is to create a culture of rigor and relevance in science classrooms and to increase academic achievement among all students. Key activities include a diagnostic pre-assessment in Physical and Earth Science, training on FOSS materials, and sharing success stories from the first half of the school year. Participants will engage in two assessments throughout the day, punctuated by a lunch break and FOSS training. The schedule concludes with a Science Showcase at Bowling Green Jr. High School, providing opportunities to connect and reflect on learning experiences.
