Co-Constructing Knowledge of The Inquiry Process

Our school priority for student learning this year is around developing student's conceptual understanding within an inquiry framework. Over the summer, our teachers read the book Comprehension and Collaboration: Inquiry Circles in Action by Harvey Daniels and Stephanie Harvey. As a staff we were able to build our background knowledge together and develop a common language and understanding of what inquiry is.  We also consulted a variety of documents and research to co-construct our own inquiry model at Hugh Cairns school. We used the Points of Inquiry Framework created by the British Columbia Teacher-Librarians' Association as well as Barbra Stripling's Model of Inquiry  as well as a variety of other sources.

We look forward to sharing our inquiry learning journey with you.
