Inquiry & Project Based Learning

Inquiry Based Learning is a teaching methos that allows each and every student become involed in the subject that they are learning. It requires the students to voice their opinions and participate in the lesson by asking more questions and going and finding the answers for themselves. This is a great method for our students to grow on a personal level and allow them to build confidence in supporting their ideas. We need inquiry- based learning because it is so important that our young children learning the importance of voice their opinions and being able to communicate in the adult world. Project-Based Learning allows students to work in groups and experiment on their own ideas and topics that are based around the lesson plan. In project - based learning the students get to interact and become the main focal point in the classroom while the teacher merely guides them in the right direction. Both of these types of learning methods are great in the classroom because they teach the children to become involved and experiment on their own threw trail and error. Creating a unit plan is a great way to follow and keep track of the progression of the students and keep you as the teacher on track.
