Taking time to teach children how to use search engines and looking through books i.e. using key words etc has been valuable in improving efficiency when looking for information. Also being thorough about the planning process and explicit about what we are learning has helped to keep all children on task.
Teachers are really pleased with the way the new inquiry model works. The new consider stage has worked really well for children to know how to move forward into the next stage.
Some children are still struggling with inquiry. We don't think this is a reflection on the model as these children are experiencing difficulties in other areas of learning. We have discussed how we are meeting the needs of these students and the common consensus was that we continue to give them one on one time and specific tasks that they need to complete in a set time limit so that they don't have time to wonder and time waste. This strategy has worked for most.
