Designing for Inquiry

  1. What inspires the questions you use to build your lessons or units, and what process do you follow to design an inquiry-based unit or lesson?
  2. How do you balance student choice with curriculum standards and classroom structure, and how do you decide what content to let go of to allow for deeper inquiry?
  3. How do you scaffold inquiry for students who are new to the process, and what challenges do you face in facilitating inquiry-based learning?
  4. How do you ensure your inquiry design promotes equity and access for all students?
  5. How do you incorporate interdisciplinary or real-world connections, and how do you pace an inquiry unit when students progress at different speeds?
  6. How do you use reflection and feedback to revise your inquiry design, and how do you know when an inquiry is “working”?
