Inquiry Based Teaching and Learning

What is Inquiry?

• Learning starts with curiosity
• Intentionally builds experiences to honor student ideas, questions and wonderings.
• Teacher creates space for student ideas, questions and wonderings to go grow utilizing a wide range of curricular materials (video, graphs, maps, images, etc).
• Students do the heavy lifting of learning; requiring development of questioning and investigating skills.
• When a school values inquiry, students become arbiters of their own learning experience.
