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.
