What people are saying…
“Kimberly masterfully engages you in what effective inquiry-based teaching and learning looks like, sounds like, and feels like.“ - Bodo Heiliger, Head of School, International School of Portland, Oregon USA
“Thank you for a great course! It enabled me to reinforce previously learned concepts related to inquiry-based learning to extend my learning further with practical applications. I found the videos about asking questions and guiding student-led discussions in the classroom particularly useful and motivating.” - Jennifer Stephens, Teacher, Berlin International School, Germany
“This course provides a great opportunity to reflect on other partners' ideas and get feedback from them about your posted ideas or thinking. Each module has something that will get you to rethink inquiry as you know it.” - Morgan Bamani, Support Teacher, The International School of Kinshasa, Democratic Rep of Congo
The Inquiry Five School Bundle is ideal for schools that have dedicated time and space for teachers to talk about their practice. In this course, we focus on the beliefs that form the foundation of inquiry classrooms and schools, offer videos, practical routines, and fillable templates that help teachers develop student agency, oracy, critical thinking, and peer-to-peer engagement.
The Inquiry Five School bundle offers:
Examples and videos of what inquiry actually looks like inside classrooms,
Opportunities for reflection throughout the book and course, including self-surveys, planning documents and a discussion board,
A user-friendly handbook format for quick reference and logical progression through the SEL and inquiry journey using teachers’ own units and lessons,
Practical support for teachers newer to International Baccalaureate (IB) programs (PYP, MYP and DP).
