  1. Inquiry Learning – So What? Teachers Matter Conference 2013 Chic Foote. Helix Consulting

  2. Explore the Questions.. • What do we really mean by inquiry? • How do we purposefully engage our learners through inquiry? • How does this impact future learning?


  3. Inquiring to Learn – The Process • What do we Know? • What do we Want to know? • How will we find out? • What have we Learnt? • How will weApply this? (So what?) • What new Questionsdo we have? K W H L A Q Barell, John. F. Developing More Curious Minds

  4. Inquiry is effective when it is …. • Seldom linear • A student driven process where they are the researchers and creators • Authentic problems for investigation and inquiry • Less about reaching solutions and more about tolerating ambiguity, wrestling with ideas and deepening understanding • Supported, guided and facilitated by the teacher Inquiry, Learning, drama, and curriculum integration. D Fraser, V Aitken, G Price, B Whyte. Set No3 2012

  5. From To • Doing Inquiry • Inquiring to Learn

  18. What does it tell us? What does this mean? How might this inform our learning process? Gather initial knowledge and ideas Generate Initial Questions Local and Global Inquiry Opportunities Purposeful Learning Conversations Probe for further information Small Group • Learners Establish: • Protocols & expectations • Digital learning Roles

  19. How do we get there?

  20. Learning Behaviours and Dispositions Feedback Expectations Strategies Models Practice

  21. If I am an inquiring learner…………… Who am I? What do I do? How do I behave?
