Section 4: Inquiry Research and Exploration
Directions:
● Locate and read two research articles that have informed inquiry focus.
● In first box, provide title, URL or citation,
● In second box describe what you learned and how it applies to your inquiry project
Directions:
● Talk to two colleagues about how they have addressed similar issues.
● In first box, list their names, grade level/content area, …
● In second box, summarize the conversation and what you learned.
Both teachers have seen students struggle to take ownership of their learning. The way
in which they have tackled this is through students working in groups and leading group
Al Rabanera, 11/12/ Geometry projects. Students are able to show procedural fluency and work independently. The
James Yee, 10/11/ Algebra teachers have noticed that they have shown more success through gamified lessons
Foundations and group projects in comparison to only completing assignments independently. As
students support each other they are demonstrating ownership of their learning and
actively work together to support each other and learn.
