    • Wondering about the world  Exploring

    • Having intellectual curiosity
    • Make it a way of life
    Group 2: Transmission Teaching and the Illusion of Learning
    • Specific topics / didn’t you learn? / Students couldn’t remember
    • If you like what you are learning then you’ll learn it
    • Must make it interesting  Teachers
    • Toss the transmission model
    Group 3: What is Inquiry Based Teaching?
    • Opposite of transmission
    • Active environment of learners
    • Students minds engaged
    • Ask questions / investigate / analysis / discuss
    Group 4: What Inquiry is not
    • Not hands on
    • Because you don’t explore bigger ideas
    • Driven by short term memory

    • Learning should be “real”
    • Keeping big ideas and goals
    • Playfulness
