In this clip, well known inquiry learning consultants and authors, Kath Murdoch and Tania Lattanzio will take you through what it means to plan for concept-based inquiry. They tackle the most commonly asked questions that arise in their work with teachers and give practical examples.
Since the start of the 2019-2020 school year, we have been collaborating to review, revise, and rewrite units of inquiry at Dresden International School.

Using the model for developing conceptual units from ‘Taking the Complexity Out of Concepts’ we developed the units of inquiry.
