Editorial Reviews

Booknews
An innovative teacher shares his method for inspiring inquiry in elementary classrooms, a method which allows children to do what they do best: investigate and explore, using their own questions and interests. The author tells how he prepares his students for the introduction of inquiry, and explains how to sustain interest throughout the school year by giving students more ownership in their investigations. He gives ideas on meeting the challenges of assessing inquiry and offers examples of various assessment instruments. Includes many activities and lists of materials. Annotation c.
