tiegradloeppky Sep 25 @ 9:10 PM EDT

Tonight we are talking about Inquiry learning in K. I get a lot of teachers wondering what it is, and how they can start. #kinderchat

tiegradloeppky Sep 25 @ 9:11 PM EDT

Q1: What does Inquiry Based/Project Based Learning mean to you? Is it the same as theme based learning? #kinderchat

CarrieMarshall1 Sep 25 @ 9:11 PM EDT

And probably just as much prep work for the day too! #kinderchat

In reply to @MmeKathleen

tiegradloeppky Sep 25 @ 9:12 PM EDT

Yep. It's not any less. I am part time in K this year and part time in library. Still so much to do for K prep. #kinderchat

In reply to @MmeKathleen, @CarrieMarshall1

CarrieMarshall1 Sep 25 @ 9:12 PM EDT

A1: Inquiry/Project Based Learning is different that theme based learning 4 many reasons, #1 being that I/PBL is child directed #kinderchat

MmeKathleen - Moderator Sep 25 @ 9:13 PM EDT

A1: PB learning is guiding students through a subject of interest that ends with a culminating task. It is NOT theme based. #kinderchat

happycampergirl - Moderator Sep 25 @ 9:14 PM EDT

A1: Inquiry is based around a problem or question. Themes are based around... a theme #Kinderchat

eller_abigail Sep 25 @ 9:14 PM EDT

A1: to me I/PBL is student lead learning while the educator is being the facilitator #Kinderchat

Beth_Heidemann Sep 25 @ 9:14 PM EDT

A1: Inquiry=Learning for a purpose and hopefully driven by student interests and passions. Theme=organizational strategy. #kinderchat

dubioseducator Sep 25 @ 9:15 PM EDT

A1 PB learning comes from Sts interest in understanding a topic generated by their interest #kinderchat

A1 Inquiry based is student driven. Getting students to ask the question and find the answers. #Kinderchat

tiegradloeppky Sep 25 @ 9:16 PM EDT

I find projects and learning can grow out of a "theme" like ocean animals or dinosaurs, and I love the use of "guiding students" #kinderchat

In reply to @MmeKathleen

tiegradloeppky Sep 25 @ 9:16 PM EDT

The role of facilitator is very important! No more "sage on the stage!" #kinderchat

eller_abigail Sep 25 @ 9:14 PM EDT

A1: to me I/PBL is student lead learning while the educator is being the facilitator #Kinderchat

CarrieMarshall1 Sep 25 @ 9:18 PM EDT

Also, inquiry learning can be as short or as long as student interest, & can morph into other areas. Themes tend to be specific #kinderchat

Bethy2810 Sep 25 @ 9:19 PM EDT

A1 Inquiry based learning is also active learning you never know where it may lead. #Kinderchat

Q2: If IL is student led and letting Ss ask the questions, how do you promote questions in your classroom? #kinderchat

DestinyW2020 Sep 25 @ 9:20 PM EDT

A1: I think that I/PBL is focused on the student learning using deeper thinking instead of surface knowledge they’ll forget #kinderchat

dubioseducator Sep 25 @ 9:20 PM EDT

I often used “wonder wall” questions to guide or extend the interest & inquiry #kinderchat

In reply to @CarrieMarshall1

CarrieMarshall1 Sep 25 @ 9:21 PM EDT

A2: I read an interesting article about teaching students how to ask questions. I wish I had it, it was perfect. #kinderchat 1/2

tiegradloeppky Sep 25 @ 9:22 PM EDT

I've never tried the wonder wall. I should, but the wall space in my room is so limited. #kinderchat

In reply to @dubioseducator, @CarrieMarshall1

Beth_Heidemann Sep 25 @ 9:22 PM EDT

Quality questions are central to the design of @go2Science. Model, support, celebrate! #kinderchat

In reply to @tiegradloeppky, @go2Science

CarrieMarshall1 Sep 25 @ 9:22 PM EDT

A2: 2/2 #kinderchat But we DO need to teach our students how to ask questions.

tiegradloeppky Sep 25 @ 9:22 PM EDT

If you do find it, please let me know! I am always looking for more ways to promote questioning! #kinderchat

In reply to @CarrieMarshall1

eller_abigail Sep 25 @ 9:23 PM EDT

I really like this idea, to prompt students #Kinderchat

In reply to @dubioseducator, @CarrieMarshall1

winkler_ally Sep 25 @ 9:23 PM EDT

I think pb learning helps students engage better in their work with hands on learning! #kinderchat

Bethy2810 Sep 25 @ 9:23 PM EDT

A2: Allow students to ask questions without always getting an instant answer. #kinderchat

dubioseducator Sep 25 @ 9:23 PM EDT

A2 Wonder Wall These were based on themes but took its own course of learning with kinders questions #kinderchat

CarrieMarshall1 Sep 25 @ 9:23 PM EDT

It was an academic article I was reading for my masters, so I am SURE it’ll be riveting for you, lol! #kinderchat

In reply to @tiegradloeppky

Beth_Heidemann Sep 25 @ 9:24 PM EDT

Do you know about the "Talk Science" moves? #kinderchat

In reply to @CarrieMarshall1

winkler_ally Sep 25 @ 9:24 PM EDT

A2 it is important that students feel comfortable answering questions w/out embarrassment. That is part of teachers jobs #kinderchat

CarrieMarshall1 Sep 25 @ 9:24 PM EDT

I do not! But am always willing to learn! #kinderchat

In reply to @Beth_Heidemann

tiegradloeppky Sep 25 @ 9:24 PM EDT

Agreed! I find this is super important with our ELL kids. #Kinderchat

CarrieMarshall1 Sep 25 @ 9:22 PM EDT

A2: 2/2 #kinderchat But we DO need to teach our students how to ask questions.

tiegradloeppky Sep 25 @ 9:25 PM EDT

Absolutely! If they are interested in it, they will want to dive right in! #kinderchat

In reply to @winkler_ally

In reply to @CarrieMarshall1, @go2Science

DestinyW2020 Sep 25 @ 9:26 PM EDT

A2: promote questions by asking them and letting students know that you are there to help them and questions help you help them #kinderchat

From a few years back. From writing on paper to computer SB to printing it so Ks could look at whenever they wanted #kinderchat

Q3 is for the folks who have do Inquiry Learning/Project Learning already... #kinderchat

tiegradloeppky Sep 25 @ 9:31 PM EDT

Q3:What does Inquiry look like in your classroom?Does it have a set amount of time in the day? Does that evolve during the year? #kinderchat

Beth_Heidemann Sep 25 @ 9:31 PM EDT

We could use another Beta Tester at @go2Science. https://t.co/AYnKIwFEa1 Check it out. If you are interested, message me. #kinderchat

In reply to @CarrieMarshall1, @go2Science, @go2Science

CarrieMarshall1 Sep 25 @ 9:32 PM EDT

A3: inquiry looks different every year w/ every class. 1 year we started an inquiry on snow in Feb, that evolved 2 water by June #kinderchat

tiegradloeppky Sep 25 @ 9:33 PM EDT

A3: for me,we start with play, provocations, and lots of listening. I note what the kids are into and what their discussions are #kinderchat

Beth_Heidemann Sep 25 @ 9:33 PM EDT

A3: The balance shifted as kids grew. By the end of each school year most of our day was focused on our PBL project. #kinderchat

In reply to @tiegradloeppky

tiegradloeppky Sep 25 @ 9:34 PM EDT

we play/explore a lot during the school day, so I can listen to their conversations and ask questions/ get a feel for interests #kinderchat

tiegradloeppky Sep 25 @ 9:35 PM EDT

Knowing your group is important! Last year's inquiry projects differed a lot from the year before. #kinderchat

CarrieMarshall1 Sep 25 @ 9:32 PM EDT

A3: inquiry looks different every year w/ every class. 1 year we started an inquiry on snow in Feb, that evolved 2 water by June #kinderchat

tiegradloeppky Sep 25 @ 9:35 PM EDT

Sounds very similar to how mine goes :) #kinderchat

In reply to @Beth_Heidemann

tiegradloeppky Sep 25 @ 9:36 PM EDT

Also, inquiry in my room is messy! So many things being created and experimented with. It can be overwhelming for some. #kinderchat

tiegradloeppky Sep 25 @ 9:39 PM EDT

Q4: Many teachers ask me this one so I offer it out to you: How do you plan for an inquiry project? #kinderchat

tiegradloeppky Sep 25 @ 9:39 PM EDT

Yes it is. My janitor might disagree, but I like it. #kinderchat

In reply to @Bethy2810

tiegradloeppky Sep 25 @ 9:40 PM EDT

That is the TRUTH!! #kinderchat

In reply to @CarrieMarshall1

CarrieMarshall1 Sep 25 @ 9:41 PM EDT

A4: “Plan” might not be the best word. Sometimes we have to let go of those plans- teachers can struggle with this! #kinderchat

tiegradloeppky Sep 25 @ 9:41 PM EDT

Genius Hour is a great way to do Inquiry with your students! I get to try it in the LLC this year! #kinderchat

In reply to @tiegradloeppky

Beth_Heidemann Sep 25 @ 9:41 PM EDT

A4: Takes lots of time. One more reason we created @go2Science: to help Ts with that planning burdon. #kinderchat

tiegradloeppky Sep 25 @ 9:42 PM EDT

Let me reframe it; How do you organize the inquiry? I see some people who make big webs of questions, some just put out stuff. #kinderchat

In reply to @CarrieMarshall1

tiegradloeppky Sep 25 @ 9:43 PM EDT

I got inspiration from @dmyerspa to start project based/inquiry based learning, and use some of the "planning" she describes. #kinderchat

happycampergirl - Moderator Sep 25 @ 9:44 PM EDT

A4: I think that planning an inquiry project is more about planning THE PROCESS; less about the product/content. #Kinderchat

In reply to @happycampergirl

Beth_Heidemann Sep 25 @ 9:47 PM EDT

This year @go2Science will help Ss investigate three hypotheses and help Ts integrate across disciplines and engage in PBL. #kinderchat

CarrieMarshall1 Sep 25 @ 9:47 PM EDT

It’s always interesting that people want to know how this links to curriculum. I love how IL takes curriculum out of the box #kinderchat

In reply to @tiegradloeppky, @happycampergirl

tiegradloeppky Sep 25 @ 9:48 PM EDT

Side question:do you find inquiry projects "linkable" to curriculum? I get asked A LOT how I cover the curriculum with IL #kinderchat

dubioseducator Sep 25 @ 9:49 PM EDT

It is the curriculum! Not a program that we follow step by step! We follow the kinders. #kinderchat

In reply to @CarrieMarshall1, @tiegradloeppky, @happycampergirl

CarrieMarshall1 Sep 25 @ 9:49 PM EDT

Exactly! It doesn’t have to link to curriculum because it IS the curriculum. It DOES cover the outcomes #kinderchat
