Hi Michelle and thanks for the reply :) I read the document and it does reflect differentiated assessment :) And no, it cannot be applied to many activities - especially those related to language learning. Students in upper grades need to be able,...

Michelle commented on Cristina Milos's blog post 'Differentiated learning/teaching'
Christina- I'm new to the Ning! and hoping to continue having a connection to other teachers who are at IB schools or use inquiry learning. I've just be transferred to a new school that is not inquiry based school-wide. I'll share my idea, but wel...

Elaine Gwendolen Reimann commented on Elaine Gwendolen Reimann's group 'Inquiry in the 21st Century'
Over the past few months I've become more and more a fan of mind-mapping. I've tried a few different ways to do this. The easiest of course is pen and paper especially because it's most accessible; a note book in your bag or a napkin in a restaura...

Elaine Gwendolen Reimann commented on Elaine Gwendolen Reimann's blog post 'Getting to know your learning toolbox'
No problem! I love the approach also for the same reasons, especially for the younger grades. There is much to be said about having visible or tangible objects to support your teaching of 'thinking skills'. I recently came across this book that m...

I love the approach!!! Although I already used these tools in my former class, I LOVE the toolbox (as a physical, tangible object) idea! Thanks for sharing, Elaine :)

A Message from Inquiry Teaching and Learning

Previously this was a private ning which started as a result of a teacher task team' on "inquiry teaching and learning". It was intended to be a way for us to communicate our findings, thoughts, and ideas. That has now changed. We have opened the site to public, hoping that this will encourage more participation in discussion and a wider range of ideas.

If you decide to join this Ning, please add some information about yourself, eg. your work and where inquiry teaching and learning plays a role, grade levels you teach, countries where you live etc. Also, please feel free to invite friends and colleagues whom you feel would benefit and/or share similar information that could enhance inquiry in a classroom. - Thank you all in advance for your contributions :)

Differentiated learning/teaching

Hi everyone,

I finally have more time to focus on this ning as the school year is over.
One of my concerns is differentiated instruction. We all know the psychological and pedagogical foundations for such an approach, so I won't insist on that.
What I would like to hear about is how exactly you use it in your classrooms, what are your best experiences in this regard, how you could do it without enough resources, how often do you feel you really make use of it etc as differentiation occurs on th… Continue

Inquiry - I.T. - Blogs - Blogs? What is a Blog?

Hi Everyone,
You all know I try to keep up with "What's hot" in I.T. (especially when it comes to Mac's - smile), but this is not a Mac thing! This is about using I.T., Blogs in particular, within the primary classroom. I found this great 'Wiki' resource through the http://pypthreads.ning.com/ that some of you are familiar with. Soooo! if you are hesitant to use I.T. within your classroom as a tool -which will no doubt promote inquiry- brow… Continue
