Can a new teacher or a teacher new to inquiry-based teaching methods handle this investigation-based program?
The CPO Science programs are sensitive to this issue. Dr. Tom Hsu and his development team took this important fact into consideration when designing the instructive Teacher’s Guide. This program component is an independent-study professional development resource in and of itself. Each student textbook reading section / investigation manual activity pair is presented in the teacher’s guide in the form of a sample lesson dialog that guides teachers through a step-by-step approach as to how they can lead the daily lessons using an inquiry-based approach. The tremendous amount of science content, relevant application and real-world connections, and extra teaching tips contained in the teacher’s guide pages is unparalleled among available science curricula. In addition to the teacher’s guide support, CPO Science has been offering high-quality, content-intensive, inquiry-based professional development courses (including graduate level institutes) since 1995.
