Course Overview
Inquiry isn’t just a strategy — it’s a disposition and a pedagogy that shifts the work of questioning and answer-seeking to the students. This course builds on Kimberly Mitchell’s hands-on approach to inquiry, where the teacher’s role is to design experiences and environments that promote student discussion, collaboration, and critical thinking.
While the National Association of Gifted Children cites inquiry-based learning as a priority for gifted students, Mitchell shows how all students benefit. You’ll experience inquiry firsthand through the course, not just read about it, and learn how to design and support inquiry-based learning in your own classroom.
