Thursday July 30, 2026 1:00pm - 2:00pm MDT

In this engaging one-hour session, participants will experience a hands-on, inquiry-based approach to science instruction intentionally integrated with literacy. Teachers will actively engage in tasks representing the different levels of inquiry, exploring what shifts in teacher and student roles are required at each level. Through structured reflection and discussion, participants will identify the characteristics and expectations of confirmation, structured, guided, and open inquiry.
This experience will highlight the level of rigor embedded within the Idaho Science Standards and emphasize the importance of designing learning opportunities where students construct their own understanding through investigation, evidence, and discourse. Participants will leave with a clearer understanding of how inquiry and literacy can work together to support deeper sensemaking, as well as practical ideas for implementing inquiry-based instruction in their own classrooms.
