Are you interested in bringing student-centered learning to your classroom? Would you like to tailor your Shared Inquiry™ skills to fit the new online and blended learning paradigms? We have two interactive online training sessions that can help you.
Shared Inquiry Essentials Online Training
This interactive introductory course prepares you to begin using the Great Books Shared Inquiry method in K–12 classrooms. Over the course of 10 hours, you will engage in synchronous and asynchronous learning activities, which include three live 2-hour sessions, followed by 4 hours of asynchronous learning that is entirely self-paced.
Throughout the training sequence, you will experience interactive online discussions modeled by your Great Books instructor, and you will learn:
- Questioning strategies that keep online and in-person discussions lively and focused
- Strategies to improve students’ reading, critical thinking, writing, and oral communication skills
- Online strategies for engaging students in today’s digital classroom
- How to write interpretive questions and how to use timely follow-up questions
