Inquiry Based Learning

This workshop gives teachers tools they can use to grow a culture of inquiry in their classrooms. Participants will experience multiple questioning and inquiry strategies that they can use in their classrooms immediately to help prepare learners for the modern world. This workshop provides opportunities for educators to deepen their understanding of inquiry and practice their own inquiry skills. Learn how to pull profound thinking and problem-solving from learners using questions to contextualize content and knowledge.

This workshop will help educators learn how to help their students, themselves, and colleagues engage in uncomfortable and potentially divisive conversations. By applying the democratic ideals as expressed in the Declaration of Independence and The Constitution, workshop participants will gain a better understanding of what it takes to create a culture of conversation that help navigate the complexities of difficult and often divisive topics by engaging in dialogue with best practices.

Leveraging inquiry teaching and learning, participants will build the skills that help discover truth instead of reinforcing ideology and beliefs in ways that support a healthier democracy through heterodox thinking.
