I really liked this book. With NGSS and C3 Frameworks stressing inquiry (and all classes should employ inquiry into their curriculum), this is the book that instructs teachers how to offer inquiry in their classes, even on a daily basis because it's not an event but a way of being in the classroom.

This book should truly be read together by departments so colleagues can share the experience, discuss what they learn, and help one another use the strategies. It might feel a bit elementaryish with the Experience templates, but get past that and use them to reflect and respond. The resources (apps, links, articles, books) are also very helpful.

This is the book I have been looking for! Practical solutions for implementing inquiry and encouraging students to be critical thinkers for life. An important read for educators interested in equity and inclusion.

Some amazing step-by-step things to do to ensure iquiry learning is successful. The author, Kimberly Mitchell, did a great webinar for New England ISTE.

Great book. It will change how you think about education and leadership.

Awesome suite of experiences for school leaders, teachers and students. I wish I had this text years ago.

A couple of nice ideas but I don't feel it really told me much about how to embed inquiry into my classroom, especially given how expensive the book was. Not worth the money.
