What is inquiry learning?• Inquiry-based learning is a constructivist approach
• Students have ownership of their learning
• Starts with exploration and questioning and leads to investigation into a worthy question, issue, problem or idea.
• Involves asking questions, gathering and analysing information, generating solutions, making decisions, justifying conclusions and taking action.

Why inquiry?• Students are at some stage of progression along a
continuum that starts at teacher directed units, includes negotiated units through to student driven learning.
• Students are actively supported and scaffolded by teachers in the acquisition of relevant skills.
• Students are engaged in learning.
• Students deepen or gain understanding of core concepts relevant to the context.
• Students work collaboratively in small groups.

Why inquiry?
• Students use and apply the information then share their solutions, decisions, thinking and outcomes in a celebration of understanding. They are not involved in a process of shifting and sharing information.
• Students will access a range of information sources.
• Students predicate their work on prior knowledge.
• Students will be actively engaged in asking and following up on questions as a central skill.
