What is the Inquiry Institute and What’s in it for Me?

At the Chicago Teachers' Center Inquiry & Design Institute, participants spend an entire week learning how to design an inquiry-based curriculum unit. Interactive reading strategies, arts and technology interaction, community building - it's all here. You will participate in a content strand and have time for unit-planning with support from an expert coach. Start your summer professionally renewed!

What is the Inquiry Institute and What’s in it for Me?

The Summer Inquiry and Design Institute is an intensive week focused around the methodology of inquiry. Each day, you’ll explore the inquiry approach in several ways:

• You’ll participate in an Inquiry Thread as a learner among your professional peers, exploring an enduring question, using a model curricular unit led by a GEAR UP PD liaison. This will be your main focus throughout the week. (See your Inquiry Thread choices on the Official Registration Form.)
• You’ll research and plan your own inquiry unit with a coach. You can opt to write a unit-for-books and earn a classroom set of books.
• You can earn 30 CPDUs, 2 lane credits, or 3 semester hours of graduate credit. (Look for more info on the registration form.)
• Breakfast and lunch will be provided every day.
