“We have to recognize that human flourishing is not a mechanical process; it's an organic process. And you cannot predict the
outcome of human development. All you can do, like a farmer, is create the conditions under which they will begin to flourish.”
- Ken Robinson, 2010

Curriculum
“Inquiry is the dynamic process of being open to wonder and puzzlements and coming to know and understand the world”
- Galileo Educational Network, 2004
Inquiry-based learning provides opportunities for students to:
•develop skills they will need all their lives
•learn to cope with problems that may not have clear solutions
•deal with changes and challenges to understandings
•shape their search for solutions, now and in the future.

Reflect
How did it compare to the way you usually
work?
How did you adjust your design in
response to their needs?
What part of the process could you
use in school - and how?
