Investigative Learning

Definition

Our ability to engage and inspire children through dynamic learning experiences is the way to ensure that all students are successful in the future. Ormondale School creates an environment where learning is an active and reflective process. We believe all students are naturally inquisitive, and begin as natural learners. To keep this notion alive, we design learning experiences that invite our students to take responsibility for their education by asking questions and discovering answers. We call this Investigative Learning.

Similarly, Project Based Learning (PBL) is a systematic teaching method that engages students in learning important knowledge and 21st century skills through an extended, student-influenced inquiry process structured around complex, authentic questions and carefully designed products and learning tasks.
