The professional development activities you'll
find here can be utilized in a variety of settings, whether by individuals or groups. They are designed to fit the needs of teachers starting inquiry for the first time, or looking to enrich their teaching with more innovative applications of inquiry-based teaching.

The ILF Professional Development Labs are based on the Concerns-Based Adoption Model, commonly referred to as "CBAM" (Hall, 1979). This model of teacher change suggests that teachers go through various stages of change characterized by different concerns they have regarding the change or innovation. Our Professional Development Labs are organized around these stages and the types of concerns teachers have at each stage.
