Inquiry, Investigations & Projects

Interested in learning more about incorporating inquiry, investigations and project-based learning into your practice?

I recorded an introductory video for Partnership for Literacy and Learning that includes tips and resources for our current remote learning situation and for when we return to classrooms.

I know it’s *that* time of year and a very, very different year at that, so feel free to put this all aside for now and come back to it when you’re good and ready.

Here’s the link to the video.

Interested in talking more? Come to a live Q & A on Monday, June 1st from 3:45-4:30 or send me an email via this website.

Take care & keep in touch!
