Implementing Guided Inquiry in the SEI Science Classroom
Thursday, May 5, 2016 at 10:30 AM–11:15 AM EDT

Abstract
ELLs often struggle in science classes that are, by nature, language-rich and highly conceptual. A learning approach that is inquiry-based and student-centered is highly effective when applied to complex scientific concepts. This workshop will provide teachers with strategies and techniques for implementing student-centered guided inquiry in SEI science classrooms.
