Inquiring into Science Instruction Observation Protocol (ISIOP)

By Daphne Minner and Jacqueline DeLisi

Inquiring into Science Instruction Observation Protocol (ISIOP) assists evaluators and researchers in determining the extent to which quality pedagogical practices, including instruction that integrates scientific practices and habits of mind, are present in secondary science classrooms.

The ISIOP contains several materials, some of which are needed for training purposes only; others are required for observations. All of these products are located on the ISIOP website.

  • ISIOP User’s Manual (this document)
  • ISIOP Teacher Pre-Observation Questionnaire
  • ISIOP Data Collection Instrument
  • ISIOP training materials, including videos, transcripts, and coded examples
