Synopsis

Learning how to seek out answers to questions without the help of the teacher is important to students' academic success. With this resource, teachers will learn to help their students understand how to find the answers they need in an effective way. Regardless of the standard - language arts, mathematics, science, or social studies - an inquiry approach to teaching is not only effective, but is an efficient way to engage students to help them achieve the standards. This valuable and timely resource provides a synergistic set of practices that create a proven way for students to develop deep conceptual understandings, complex thinking skills, and enduring practices.

About the Author

Paul Jablon, Ph.D. taught in the New York City public schools for 19 years where he and his colleagues created classrooms, programs, and schools that utilized inquiry teaching and interdisciplinary, project-based learning to engage those students previously disengaged from school. As a faculty member at Brooklyn College, the University of Massachusetts, and Lesley University, he had the opportunity to work for over two decades with both preservice and practicing teachers. Leading systemic-change projects in urban and suburban school districts, he has collaborated with thousands of teachers to understand how inquiry teaching is best implemented with a diverse set of students from kindergarten through college.
