Inquiry in the classroom

Over the last year, since the 'Next Chapter' in MYP, I have been trying my hardest to understand and develop ideas about inquiry in the classroom. I have personally asked many questions about the way I teach and how I can incorporate inquiry into my classes.

I sometimes find it hard to include inquiry into every lesson and feel that lessons have aspects where you have to lead the students towards your objectives. I do not believe classes should be content driven but there are times when important fundamental skills need to be taught or demonstrated for students to understand how to implement their ideas of skill.

'The Power of asking the right questions' by Georgia K Mathis approaches this topic and has helped me think even more about how I can use #inquiry in my classes.

The youtube video below show this in action at Wildwood IB World Magnet School. 
I have also been inspired by many out there in the world such as Andy Vasily, Nathan Horne and Sporticus.

Andy has just finished a visit at our school working with the specialists in our elementary school on inquiry. He has a great website, called pyp with andy, dedicated to inquiry and physed.

I have begun to compile a webpage on my website with links to inquiry blogs and websites for people to refer to. I hope it helps.

it's on my website ibmypphe.com

How do you include inquiry in the classroom? Do you do it all the time? Is it an important part of the learning in your classes?

I wanted to express my gratitude for your insightful and engaging article. Your writing is clear and easy to follow, and I appreciated the way you presented your ideas in a thoughtful and organized manner. Your analysis was both thought-provoking and well-researched, and I enjoyed the real-life examples you used to illustrate your points. Your article has provided me with a fresh perspective on the subject matter and has inspired me to think more deeply about this topic.
