Date: Thu, 2 Jun 2016 17:16:23 -0600 Workshop 1. What is Inquiry and why do it? Introduction: My Name is Hilary and I teach 7th and 8th grade science in Colorado. Last year was my first year teaching. I taught 6th grade. I was at a school that was changing into inquiry based for science. I had great mentors and I was feeling like I was getting it. Then I moved schools and had to prep for two grades and so I had to rely on what other teachers would give me materials so that I could survive. They did packets=worksheets. It was awful and boring. For both myself and my students. I was able to do several inquiry based labs with my 7th graders (as I was more familiar with the content - Life science). I am taking this class so that I can get started again for next year and keep going! What does inquiry mean to me? I believe that inquiry is the process of discovering, observing, and asking questions. In a classroom it looks different to what many people are used to as a teacher lecturing and students taking notes. I see it as the teacher guideing the students into discovering, observing, and asking questions on their own and with each other. What I would expect to see in an Inquiry Classroom (Before watching video) What the Teacher is Doing What the Student is Doing Listening to students Research Asking questions Brainstorming More facilitating than direct instruction Taking data or notes in notebook/journal Evaluating student ideas Asking each other questions Guiding students and group work Cooperating Listening to others _______________________________________________ Teacher-talkinquiry mailing list Teacher-talkinquiry_at_learner3.learner.org https://learner3.learner.org/mailman/listinfo/teacher-talkinquiry You may un-subscribe from this email list at any time by using the online form at the above URL.
