A recent report on a large initative in Alabama has shown signficant increases in student scores by an indepedent research group.  I have had the privledge of being a part of this iniative with Auburn City Schools and found it to be great for students and teachers alike.  Not only does the initiative take time to train teachers, but it aides in providing supplies that teachers need to teach inquiry based learning.  A short report of the study highlighting impacts can be found at https://docs.alsde.edu/documents/55/NewsReleases2012/2-21-2012_AMSTI%20study%20results.pdf.
