Day 1
We recommend that teachers use inquiry-based learning. What areas must you consider when planning an inquiry-based unit? - time-- consider your goal for the allotted time - materials-- money for materials, email Dave/Ellie for materials/supplies - prior knowledge -- both teacher and students - leading questions/ guided questions - physical arrangement of room - arrangement (grouping) of students - "lesson plans" for inquiry lessons (ASD guidelines) - Distribution of materials (management) - follow-up as per formative assessment - assessment - communication with parents/ administrators - how to engage students--- journals, anchor charts

Day 4
How would you respond to a teacher who states that there isn't enough time to prepare for inquiry-based lessons? - initial planning takes longer but these lessons can be used year to year - start gradually, do more and more each year. - part of your "routine" - allocate your time a little differently - work together - other areas of workload might lessen by using inquiry-based lessons - use students, make them responsible for materials - students working together will also lessen the teacher's load - use PLCs as a way to get support
