Design Based Implementation Research

Inquiry Hub

The Inquiry Hub (iHub) is developing and testing a model for helping districts effectively implement student-centered curricula in mathematics and science. The partners are the University of Colorado Boulder, University Corporation for Atmospheric Research, the Denver Public Schools, and BSCS.

The iHub design process is focused on developing and testing implementation supports for curriculum materials used in the district. It includes district leaders, teachers, and researchers. Graduate students on the team are involved in all aspects of iHub.

The iHub is funded by the National Science Foundation.
