And then you answer those questions yourself about the whole process! <br />Great reflection! I think you must be the *brilliant* one!<br /><br />I love learning with you and I am so happy you blogged about this!<br />Hugs<br /><br />GallitAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06591650557405976201noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3281737569220491531.post-35131165383110390062013-03-29T22:37:27.583-07:002013-03-29T22:37:27.583-07:00Hi Robyn!
This is a fantastic post for teachers wh...Hi Robyn!<br />This is a fantastic post for teachers who want to give inquiry based learning a try! I love that you write about the process, not just the end product. (The products are great too, though!) The way you reflected and asked the "do the same/do differently" questions is fantastic and I hope to incorporate more reflections like that in my planning. As always, you are modelling what you teach :) <br /><br />"I will honor their best efforts" is so powerful. It speaks to how well you understand that learning is a process and students develop at different rates and that is OK. I just love that phrase!<br /><br />I have a thought-what if, after scaffolding the basic content with your students up front, you had the students develop their own essential questions? It would be a challenge, to be sure-but I wonder what the students would come up with now that they have done one project as well as the Genius Hour inquiry format. What if they developed their own rubric/criteria? It could be very powerful personalized learning.<br /><br />Thanks again for such a great post. You really do have a gift for writing. I enjoy reading your blog so much!<br />Your partner in crime,<br />DianaAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09159226182735626119noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3281737569220491531.post-62329603944949199912013-03-29T22:09:35.055-07:002013-03-29T22:09:35.055-07:00Thanks so much Karen.

You will really enjoy using the Inquiry/Challenge based model, seeing your students totally engaged in their learning is very rewarding!It's great to have so many supportive edufriends and fellow troublemakers to share our journeys with!<br /><br />RobynMrs. Robyn Thiessenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15989722415155954877noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3281737569220491531.post-33482868807530504912013-03-28T08:45:41.527-07:002013-03-28T08:45:41.527-07:00Robyn, it is so exciting to see all the "tro...Robyn, it is so exciting to see all the "trouble" you're getting into these days with your learning and your students learning. I love this "trouble". This post is quite helpful for me as I'm looking at attempting Challenged Based learning with my young learners in term 3. I do agree that setting criteria, and meeting regularly is really important. Self and peer assessment is key too. Thanks for giving me more to think about. It's an exciting time to be a teacher.
