How should the progression of question asking advance through the social studies units?

The nature and level of guidance is dynamic. "The most successful inquiry journeys are a result of both teacher AND student choice. It’s not either/or – it is AND." Good teachers adjust the level of guidance for optimal learning based on context, purpose and the needs of the learner.

Can we provide more lessons on how to form Open Questions that will lead to the learning objectives we want them to attain? Ex: What aspects of a mining community allow residents to thrive? VS How do you mine for coal?

"Underneath those independent and self-driven learners engaged in personal inquiries is a strong set of structures, scaffolds a repertoire of strategies and agreements."

Inquiry is guided by Questioning

How can we best model effective questioning to guide inquiry and keep students engaged?

Use the Question Formulation Technique across content areas. For example, we launched it in Math before trying Science/SSGS content.

Some lessons studies focused on the SSGS lessons would be amazing!

"Guidance is important - but the level and nature of it will vary according to the needs to the learner."

How do we see our overall curriculum changing to support inquiry learning? How do we balance teaching foundational skills with allowing for inquiry time?

I think open-ended questions should be modeled and taught prior to the unit. The students need explicit instruction to develop focused open-ended questions.

How can we help students develop deep questions to engage and enhance their inquiry experience?

Lesson studies on the inquiry process for SSGS would be amazing as well as a list of materials to support this inquiry, including on line resources students an safely use.

While students are given 'free choice' they require even more careful structures and scaffolding.

Should we be asking the students to categorize their questions so that they can develop deeper questions? (geography, economics, civics, etc.)

One idea that I tried that I found helpful for asking open-ended questions was to have my students look at the Table of Contents.  They had to read the chapter titles and turn them into broader questions.  This allowed them to find multiple answers.

We need some more teacher ideas generated to help provide some direction to help us get at the compelling/supporting questions.

I will ask a very open ended question. The kids then in return need to ask more questions that when answered will lead them to the answer to the big open ended question.

As a teacher, every year can look different. That is exciting!
