=﻿Thoughts on Inquiry Based Learning= Student centered, teacher guided. Promotes connections to the real world through questioning and discovery. It's all good! The Northeastern Illinois University site is one that I had bookmarked. Their criteria and components for inquiry based learning are like an easy to follow blueprint. The Inquirylearn site prominently used two words that I strongly connect with in my teaching style: organic and cyclical. There is no greater feeling in teaching than when the students connect lessons to the larger world guided by their own curiousity and resulting in "Aha" moments!
