Date: August 13, 9:00-4:00
Cost: $200.00
Presenter: Great Books Instructor
Using Shared Inquiry with Nonfiction will help teachers facilitate an exchange of ideas among students about nonfiction readings in the classroom using the Shared Inquiry method of learning, a research-proven method of examining and discussing complex content. This course does not require that teachers have Great Books materials or attended any other Great Books Shared Inquiry course, but either would be advantageous. Three readings will be used from Great Books Foundations social studies and science series appropriate materials for grade levels 5-12. Teachers of younger students could apply skills learned here to other materials, but none will be used in this course. Please contact Karen Sumner (ksumner@wresa.org) 8284180011 ext 26 with questions.
