Working closely as a team has been very helpful to bounce ideas and begin creating inquiry based lesson plans. We have used more visuals and "wonder walls" to get students asking questions.

When having a challenge or problem with inquiry based learning, I feel that working with my team to find a solution is best. Planning and creating these units together allows for us to discuss those potential problems that may occur.

Beginning to take more ownership of what they are learning, but it's still a new strategy and they need to develop more skills to be consistently successful.
