J. Riddell Matte (2021) Inquiry Sketchnotes for EDCI 490.

The assessment strategies and benefits of Inquiry based learning, which are highlighted in Trevor McKenzie’s new book, Inquiry Mindset; Assessment Edition, have been summarized in the above set of ten sketch-notes! The set emphasizes: centring students as part of something bigger, fostering student’s ability to grow&change, co-creating criteria, scaffolding learning, equitable entry into all lessons, self and peer evaluations as learning, student agency over learning, spiderweb thinking (which requires the teacher to throughly observer the students interaction and engagement) and partner talk.

When used in a wholistic way, woven throught your teaching, these techniques ensure that students have choice+voice over their own learning, and that that learning is authentic+meaningful.
