About the Talk 

In this webinar, Colin and Neil connect with educators to present a model of continuous learning. They start by looking at inquiry and what it really means to create an inquiry-driven classroom. The target is to move beyond the KWL and share teaching and learning strategies that can come handy to every educator, in every classroom. 

Colin and Neil will introduce their 4 step learning cycle that includes Exposure-Curiosity-Attempt-Practice to design authentic learning and purposeful student engagements. By the end, you will have strong strategies to take back to your classroom to ensure continuous learning.
