A1- inquiry is being passionate about something and wanting to learn as much as you can about it. #txeduchat

j_hud12 Nov 13 @ 9:16 PM EST

A1 inquiry focuses on the student's learning, opening a door for curiosity and in turn, intrinsic motivation #txeduchat

PegGrafwallner Nov 13 @ 9:16 PM EST

A1 Ask Ss how they learn? It gives them a chance to metacognitively realize that learning doesn't just "happen," it's hard work! #txeduchat

I think it's a combo; not understanding but also not knowing how to implement effectively #txeduchat

#txeduchat ? Is what is it about inquiry that's not understood & what can we do about it, how do we communicate benefits

A5: Structured freedom. I have goals I set. But once they've been met I ask what more they can find. #txeduchat

these really can be structured into assignments. I find that tracking is more challenging than traditional grading.#txeduchat

Jaibyrd123 Nov 13 @ 9:48 PM EST

A5: w/adult learners, it's giving them ownership of future implementation. No one leaves without ways to move forward and own it #txeduchat

AmandaPalmer131 Nov 13 @ 9:49 PM EST

A5: I recently heard a T say that when a S doesn't do his assignment he asks how they'd like to show they've learned the skill. #txeduchat

TinaKrol Nov 13 @ 9:49 PM EST

A5: My campus is trained on PBL & that is their main entry method into inquiry based learning. ELA also uses the IBD model. #txeduchat

forevercfi Nov 13 @ 9:49 PM EST

A5: I also like to challenge my kids to find the answers to what I can't answer. Answers/solutions get candy. #txeduchat

A5: look at 'life' big ideas in curriculum; what driving question (open for need) can you ask based on it? #txeduchat

GailaSanders Nov 13 @ 9:50 PM EST

A4 Change = scary & needs support, get admin, Ts, parents, & Ss to embrace outside the box learning & expect bumps in the road #txeduchat

We organize our studies around a main idea. Immigration, marsh, local food. Ss generate guiding questions & carry through subjs #txeduchat

A5: I thought you'd never ask! Ss documentary project w/ topic choice(HOOK), S-created driving questions, ownership of learning #txeduchat

raspberryberet3 Nov 13 @ 9:52 PM EST

A5: have Ss blog about their learning & experiences! Great assessment as learning tool! #txeduchat

Ms_S_Jackson Nov 13 @ 9:52 PM EST
