  This workshop is an introduction to the Argument-Driven Inquiry (ADI) instructional model. Participants will first learn about the limitations of typical laboratory instruction and why ADI can help all students develop the knowledge and skills they need to be proficient in science. Next, the participants will have an opportunity to learn about the ADI instructional model by participating in all eight stages of two different ADI lab investigations from start to finish. Finally, the participants will learn how ADI is aligned with state science standards and CCSS for English-Language Arts.
