SERIES: C3 (Critical, Creative and Collaborative) Inquiry  for the 21st Century

Part Two: Building a Community of Thinkers For schools to remain relevant in an information age, the focus for learning must shift from the mere acquisition of knowledge to the use of knowledge to solve meaningful problems. Placing inquiry at the heart of teaching helps to ensure relevance and rigor for all learners. During the webinar teachers will consider a powerful framework that allows teachers to build learning around inquiry by “tweaking” and fortifying the work they already do. Participants will engage in a variety of ready to use strategies that are sure to promote critical thinking in their classrooms.
