Abstract

The author describes a professional development model for high school science teachers based on the framework of inquiry and science standards. The ‘Learn-Teach-Assess Inquiry’ model focuses on guided inquiry labs as the central theme and builds on these labs to reinforce science concepts and abilities to understand and engage in inquiry in accordance with national/ state science standards. A professional development model for high school science teachers based on the framework of inquiry and National Science Education Standards has been developed and field tested for three years. This model requires intensive involvement of teachers and project personnel in workshops, material development, and round-the-year follow-up school visits for a three-year cycle.
