Rate this book
The Inquiry Tools for the Elementary Social Studies is written for anyone who would like to be an inquiry teacher or to become a better one. The book is organized into three parts. Part I tackles the fundamentals of inquiry and social studies in the elementary classroom. Part II helps you design an inquiry using the Inquiry Design Model (IDM) blueprint. Part III expands your skill set by helping you think about different kinds of inquiry and how to create an inquiry-based curriculum. Each chapter is anchored by a question because teaching through questions is the cornerstone of inquiry. You will meet real inquiry teachers along the way who have helped us hone our inquiry practices. We hope you see yourself in them and laugh a little along the way.
