Process Overview Throughout the Inquiry EduSystem process, the roles of teachers and students are fluid, as are the inquiry components. Input Phase (Teacher-Directed) The teacher ● explains outcomes; ● reviews guiding or essential questions; ● activates prior knowledge; ● presents curated content; ● provides background information. Interact Phase (Student-Centered) In collaborative groups, students ● discuss and/or journal discussion questions, record observations, and ask additional questions for further exploration; ● complete extension activities to support all learners (e.g., vocabulary or skill-based exercises); ● analyze content through different Lenses of Analysis (can be completed in either the Interact Phase or Dig Deeper Phase). Dig Deeper Phase (Student-Directed) In collaborative groups or independently, students ● research questions and areas of interest discovered during the Interact Phase; ● analyze content through different Lenses of Analysis (can be completed in either the Interact Phase or Dig Deeper Phase). Output Phase (Assessment) Students ● participate in whole group discussion; ● engage with extension games; ● find intersections with similar concurrent events or thematic events; ● make connections to the present via discussion or assessment; ● engage with traditional assessments; ● engage with authentic assessments. 9
