This is the presentation used to guide our discussions at a teacher professional development workshop for teachers who have spent the last year implementing student research into their curriculum. Teachers used the "STEM Student Research Handbook" as a student text and have been developing unit and lesson plans to guide their students through the process.

Our Wiki

capabilities this year working along side your
student researchers? How do you feel about the
process your students have experienced?
What can we do to change this perception? Are we making things worse, or improving?
Remember this slide? How’s this going for you and your students?
Ok. At this point I’m going to assume you’re at least willing to entertain the idea that students should be allowed to do scientific inquiry at the highest levels. So let’s move onto the practical aspect of how you might implement student research. The first is to address the scientific method.
Know your audience. Where are student products being submitted? The style doesn’t matter…just that it is consistently implemented. You need to be in their faces regarding the details.
