‘Guided-Inquiry’ has been this buzz-phrase that I’ve been hearing since I began my TL journey earlier this semester, and I’m really interested to explore it in more depth. I get the premise and ideas behind it — allowing curriculum and student interest to intersect, and allowing learning to be student-driven, etc. but I want to know more about how the teacher and TL can actively support and scaffold this. I’m particularly interested in how I might work towards implementing this in my current school, as I’m concerned about students’ being able to direct their own learning while being on-task.

I definitely think I’ll be looking at GID as part of Assessment 3, because I think GID is becoming the favoured model for student-driven learning in HS curriculum and schools. I’ve unwittingly been using the NSW IL model for information seeking and use, but I’m concerned about how much students take away from this model.
