Session Focus
• INQUIRY-BASED instruction and learning– National Science Education Standards (NRC, 1996)– Inquiry and the NSES (NRC, 2000)– Inquiry Within (Llewellyn, 2007)– 4E x 2 Instructional Model (www.clemson.edu/iim)

Inquiry Continuum
• Inquiry follows a continuum—not an either/or
• Pre-Inquiry or Non-Inquiry—other strategy used• Developing Inquiry—prescriptive/cookbook• Proficient Inquiry—often guided • Exemplary Inquiry—maximal student engagement
7
Proficient Inquiry—is often
guided but challenges
students to think and problem
solve within the context of
critical content.

Facilitating Inquiry• If you improve the following areas—learning
increases!• Instruction (How do I lead?)• Discourse (How do we interact?)• Assessment (How is instruction influenced by
student achievement/knowledge?)• Curriculum (What guides teaching and learning?)
Although all are inter-related, each will be considered independently.
