Collaborative inquiry is…

… an interative process in which teachers collaborate to develop reasonable inquiry

questions by implementing research-based strategies and reflecting on how they

impact relevant student learning needs in the classroom.


However…

“There is no prescribed protocol, nor is there a single path.”


Capacity Building Series, Collaborative Inquiry

What is the most urgent student learning need in your classroom? What data sources do you have to support this? Is it related to content? Learning skill?Both?

Urgent Student Learning Need


Uses neutral, exploratory language Begins with “how” or “what” Clearly specifies the focus of your inquiry

Inquiry Question


What will you do and what are the expected outcomes? Serves as a storyline for your inquiry Written as a series of “if… then…” statements

Theory of Action


Inability to demonstrate understanding through multiple representations.

Exemplar



Inability to demonstrate understanding of algebra through multiple representations.

Exemplar



How will embedding animations of algebraic concepts impact student ability to show understanding in multiple ways?

Inquiry Question

Exemplar


If we embed short videos with animated visualizations of algebraic concepts when introducing new math concepts, then student engagement will increase.

Theory of Action

Exemplar


Theory of Action

If student engagement increases during the introduction of new algebraic conepts, then students will be more likely to remember their multiple representations.

Use the data provided to help inform your decisions

Does your student learning need exist throughout every strand? What are indicators suggesting this student learning need exists? What over-arching theme will be present to monitor this learning need throughout your course?

Reflect throughout the year: Have you selected the most urgent student learning need? Are the specific changes in my theory of action improving student achievement? Is there anything I could do differently?

Reflect and Refine
