IL ESSA Conference

Today’s classroom environments are developing a teaching and learning approach that create a culture of inquiry-based instruction. Evidence based and systematic inquiry approaches lead students to transferable skills and future enduring understandings. Models of inquiry will be shared that support a strategic methodology developing wonder, teacher/student collaboration, and paths for further exploration and research. Using these and other instructional elements, this session will explore in an interactive format how to transfer knowledge of the English Language Arts into authentic and gradual release of responsibility learning opportunities.
