Inquiry Process • Topics based on student curiosity, questions, interests • Dig deeply into complex, authentic topics that matter • Flexible grouping • Student responsibility with peer leadership • Use of proficient reader/thinker researcher strategies • Draws on multigenre, multimedia resources • Going beyond fact-finding to synthesizing and applying knowledge • Actively using knowledge: take action, share, go public • Match learning to state and district curriculum
Why Inquiry? • Focuses on children’s natural inquisitiveness • Student control, responsibility and choice increases self-efficacy and is motivating • Helps develop problem-solving skills • Students are engaged in authentic, meaningful learning experiences • Small group interactions are “life-like” • Allows for differentiated instruction • Develops proficient readers and thinkers
