How We Learn

Let’s see how that works

Asking Questions
• What did you want to know?
• Where could you go for answers?
• What new questions might arise?

Science starts with questions

Stages of inquiry
Stage 0: Cookbook Science
Stage 2: Guided Inquiry
Stage 1: Structured Inquiry
Stage 3: Open Inquiry

What’s that look like?

What’s Inside?
13
Backwards Design
• Grant Wiggins and Jay McTighe
• Used more for global or unit planning
• Lesson planning comes last
14
Learning vs. Teaching• What do you want students to know and
understand?
• How will you know that they do?
• What learning activities will get you there?
15
Essential Questions
• Have no simple “right” answer
• Provoke and sustain inquiry
• Address foundational concepts
• Raise other important questions
• Recur naturally
• Stimulate rethinking
16
Project Based Learning
“We only think when we are confronted with problems.”
John Dewey(October 20, 1859 – June 1, 1952) American philosopher, psychologist, and educational reformer

How-To
• Relevant problem
• Design Brief
• ‘Found’ materials
• Assessment
18
It’s EEEEEasy
• Engage
• Explore
• Explain (not you, them)
• Extend
• Evaluate
