Recent Product Reviews:
"This collection of case studies will provide teachers with the necessary background to transform their classrooms and to maximize student learning."
Curriculum Connections, Spring 2006
"As the book makes apparent, any good inquiry starts out with a good question. As it turns out, these questions are good starting points for inquiries by educators into inquiry, and this volume is an excellent companion to beginning such a quest."
PsycCRITIQUES, January 2006, Vol. 51
"There is a series of concrete guidelines and suggestions for facilitating implementation of inquiry-based instruction that teachers will find very useful . . . this is a worthwhile collection of essays that could easily serve as a stimulating and beneficial book for a reading group or staff development resource."
NSTA Recommends, October 2005, National Science Teachers Association
