Inquiry Based Teaching
What I took from this class is a deeper understanding of inquiry. Inquiry is purposefully engaging in planned reflections of ones teaching practices. It is an essential part of anyones life, but is especially crucial to better ones teaching. No one, even teachers, can say that they know everything there is to know and therefore inquiry is a tool used in order to continue learning and growing. Inquiry benefits more than just the teacher, it benefits the students and the classroom as a whole.
Some questions I had:
Would it be helpful for teachers to do some of their reflecting with the students?
Should students also do a daily inquiry into their learning?
