Inquiry

Inquiry
Inquiry is a powerful methodology that engages students in pursuing personal, active, and authentic learning in depth. For example, inquiry is embedded in language arts as inquiry-based learning, in mathematics as problem solving in the context of data analysis, in science as scientific inquiry and the design process, and in social studies as social studies skills. As they engage in inquiry, students develop questions to guide their learning, research sources of information, synthesize new ideas, and share evidence of their understanding, all while reflecting on their learning. Furthermore, inquiry processes enable students to learn how to learn, and to become self-directed learners.
