INQUIRY EDUCATION IN SCIENCE (AND ELSEWHERE) One of a series of half day conversation among K12 and college/university educators about how to work together to assure better education for all students at all educational levels, with particular reference to science and mathematics. THIS YEAR'S QUESTIONS:
Small and large group discussion facilitated by Paul Grobstein, Alice Lesnick, Anne Dalke, and Wil Franklin. Background readings: Get acquainted over coffee and continue conversation over lunch (both provided). Public on-line forum for pre and post meeting discussion.

OBJECTIVE: To bring together K-12 and college/university educators to discuss ways that they can better work together to create optimal learning environments for all students at all levels of the the educational system, with particular reference to assuring effective education with science and mathematics.
BACKGROUND: Given their professional experiences, together with their experiences both as undergraduates and as students in education and other graduate programs, K-12 educators have a particularly advantageous perspective from which to make suggestions about how to improve both K-12 and college/university education. At the same time, college/university/graduate faculty have distinctive perspectives and resources that can be beneficial to K-12 educators. What is needed is greater conversation between the two groups, predicated on the presumption that such exchange is very much in the best interests of both, as well as of more effective experiences at all levels of the educational system.
