Inquiry as an approach to teaching and learning has long been regarded as an effective way not only to engage students in their learning but to challenge them to think deeply and apply skills and understandings to new contexts. Many of us like the idea of an inquiry approach but feel less confident with how to actually use it effectively in the classroom. This workshop is designed for teachers who are newer to inquiry or those who wish to refresh their understanding of the approach and update their pedagogy.
This highly practical, interactive day will explore the following questions:

We can maximize our teaching time in Writers Workshop by organizing for learning in a structured and manageable way. It is the structure that allows for flexibility and differentiation as we interact and respond to students. The key to this is an independent routine that helps students to self-regulate, as they learn how to reflect and help themselves throughout the writing process. If we want our students to develop these metacognitive strategies, we need a writing culture that encourages and supports this – how we give feedback to students is critical to a Writers Workshop.

A journey of inquiry can be a very effective way to both meet curriculum expectations while engaging children in purposeful and authentic learning. Each journey of inquiry should not only help develop deep understanding but continue to grow children’s capacity to learn. What does it mean to design an inquiry and support students through the process?
In this workshop, Kath Murdoch will share ideas for designing learning experiences that position the learner as an inquirer - actively questioning, gathering information, organising and analysing that information to achieve deeper understanding. Kath will guide participants through her powerful ‘cycle of inquiry’, focussing on the purposes of each element of inquiry and what the teaching and learning looks like in response to those purposes.
Participants will leave with a clearer understanding of the process of inquiry, how to work with the curriculum, the role of the teacher and learner in the process and why it is such a powerful approach.
Kath will provide participants with practical examples of approaches to planning and documentation and explore the ways in which collaborative teams can design for learning in response to information and insights they gather through formative assessment.
