If you’re ready to move beyond traditional direct instruction and into a classroom where students drive the learning, this session is for you. In this hands-on, practical workshop, you’ll experience Inquiry-Based Learning from the learner’s perspective and walk away with ready-to-use strategies you can implement immediately. We’ll explore POGIL-style activities that structure productive struggle and collaboration, learn how to use the Question Formulation Technique (QFT) to spark powerful student-generated questions, and practice guiding learning from authentic phenomena across any content area (grades 6–12). You’ll leave with concrete tools for increasing engagement, ownership, and deeper thinking—without losing rigor or control of your classroom. This isn’t theory. It’s practical, classroom-tested strategies that shift cognitive lift from teacher to students, where it belongs.
