In short, inquiry-based learning:
n
starts with a question, problem, or context
that is ripe for exploration.
n
values student-centered processes, instead of
top-down decisions.
n
emphasizes constructing meaning, rather than
just memorizing and reproducing information.
n
builds collaborative skills by fostering teamwork,
communication, and the integration of unique
viewpoints.
n
moves outward into communities and networks
of experts, instead of remaining within the
closed system of the school.
But beyond theory,
what does inquiry-based learning
at Trevor mean for your child?
