What is Inquiry teaching?
Inquiry teaching is allowing students questions and curiosities to drive curriculum. Inquiry begins with gathering information through applying the human senses seeing, hearing, touching, tasting, and smelling. Inquiry encourages children to question, conduct research for genuine reasons, and make discoveries on their own. The practice transforms the teacher into a learner with students, and students become teachers with us. Inquiry teaching honors previous experience and knowledge. It makes use of multiple ways of knowing and taking on new perspectives when exploring issues, content, and questions.
