Inquiry based learning supports the strategic use of:
- inquiry skills
- curriculum (it's not always student-centered)
- learning skills and work habits
- critical thinking
- technology
- differentiated instruction
- assessment for, as and of learning
For inquiry-based learning to work, we need to create an inclusive classroom where learners feel safe to share ideas and thoughts. Students also need to have time to decide what they think about something (e.g., a public service announcement, a text) and then share their ideas through accountable talk with partners or small groups. Inquiry-based learning often delves into critical thinking by asking students MORE than just yes/no questions. It allows us to move student thinking, and student discussion, forward.
Thoughts for reflection:
WHY do we want our students to learn this information? Do they know why it is important?
WHAT questions will we ask our students to move the thinking/learning forward?
HOW will we structure our unit plans to include time for flexibility?
WHEN do we share the learning goals with our students?
