In this episode of How We Teach This, elementary educator and 2025 National Teachers Hall of Fame inductee Michael J. Dunlea III shares how inquiry can break down classroom walls and connect learning across every subject. Drawing on more than two decades of experience, Michael discusses how he weaves science, literacy, math, and community service to help students explore their world with curiosity and purpose. He also offers a wealth of resources for teachers seeking to expand their own professional learning and global connections. Together, we examine how current science assessments often fail to capture students’ true abilities for inquiry—and what educators can do to create more authentic measures of learning. Tune in for an inspiring conversation filled with practical strategies and fresh perspectives on what meaningful science education can look like.
