An exciting part of CGEE's partnership with Crossroads School has been the opportunity to develop cutting-edge staff development opportunities. As CGEE has forged ahead with the development of graduate level coursework in inquiry-based teaching and learning, selected activities are being piloted with Crossroads teachers. As a result, the teaching staff at Crossroads has had an opportunity to explore current theory and practice in the area of scientific inquiry.
New strategies can be field tested by classroom practitioners who comment on their usefulness.
CGEE has benefited by gathering immediate feedback on the effectiveness of its newly developed teacher training modules. A group of Crossroads teachers works through the design of a classroom activity. All Rights Reserved.
