Dive into Inquiry

Implementing authentic, project-based learning is a strategy that generally sounds great, but rarely gains momentum because, well, we don't have a clear idea HOW to do it. Trevor McKenzie recounts his growth in developing learning projects and describes a structure for gradually weaving in more student autonomy, culminating in a free inquiry project. In Dive into Inquiry Trevor anticipates the “okay..but” reactions educators might have and provides a solid basis for creating an inquiry-based class. The QR linked examples are a valuable addition to the text, and as another reviewer has noted, kudos to Trevor for highlighting the importance of the librarian/media specialist when implementing this approach.
