Inquiry-based learning

Submitted by Syreeta Bennett on Fri, 07/27/2007 - 2:15pm.
As human beings, we need the opportunities to explore. Throughout life we seek answers to questions. We choose paths to take but we don't do this alone. Throughout life you have people to guide you and rules to give you structure. This is how I see a classroom, there is structure, there are theories and rules that students have to learn, but there are chances to explore. There are moments students have to find answers that make sense to them and they are comfortable with. As a teacher following the standards I can look at subject and ask them what questions do you have and through their explorations, and my instruction, my goal is that those questions are answered.
