Earlier this year, Boise State received a grant for $191,593 from the US Department of Education to fund teaching materials, teacher education, and consulting services for elementary school teachers of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math-- or STEM. These teachers use an inquiry-based approach to teaching and learning the sciences.
Not only does this show that inquiry methods expand beyond the realm of writing, but it also shows how much the Us Dept of Ed supports programs that need proper funding so that our children can learn and have access to the best materials and teaching. I'm really encouraged by this article; it shows that inquiry is certainly a buzz word and that it is well-supported.
