Extended Inquiry

What is Extended Inquiry?

Extended Inquiry(previously known as Enrichment) is unique to Warren T. Jackson. Inquiry based learning and teaching is used to ignite students' curiosity and creativity. As we implemented project-based learning in the classroom, we discovered it was helpful to have a specific time each week to get messy, add an extra set of hands, and provide this enriching opportunity to all students.

What does it look like at Warren T. Jackson?

Once a week, each grade level has a two-hour block where a gifted and talented support teacher pushing into the general education classroom while extended inquiry takes place. During this time, students are able to expand upon the project-based learning that is going on throughout the week. All extended inquiry correlates and enhances our IB-PYP units of study in every grade level.
