FROM AGENCY TO ZEST is a delightfully thought-provoking exploration of ideas central to the field of inquiry-based learning, written by renowned educator and inquiry expert, Kath Murdoch.Organized alphabetically, this collection offers the reader part explanation of and part reflection on 26 key words (and an abundance of related words) that embody the essence of inquiry. From Agency to Zest is designed to be used as an invitation to reflect-and to provoke professional dialogue amongst educators wishing to deepen their understanding of inquiry as an approach to teaching and learning. In addition to the explanations provided throughout, Murdoch also offers practical advice on how the book can be used to support and deepen professional learning experiences within and across schools."Kath Murdoch has done it again. She has shown us that inquiry learning is simultaneously rich, engaging, meaningful, long lasting, and rigorous - all at once. In this delightfully accessible book, Kath literally spells out (From A-Z) the complexity, nuance, and joy of inquiry. This will be a valuable resource for teacher and parents."-Ron Ritchhart, Author of The Power of Visible Thinking

Exploiter le pouvoir de la curiosité pour stimuler l'amour de l'apprentissage chez les élèves.Dès leur plus jeune âge, nos enfants font preuve d'une curiosité innée. Ils explorent le monde qui les entoure par le jeu, l'imagination et la découverte. Ils construisent du sens, ils créent de la compréhension, et ils partagent sans honte leur apprentissage. C'est dans ce processus qu'ils trouvent de la joie dans la vie et de la pertinence dans le monde qui les entoure.Pourquoi, alors, certains de nos élèves se déconnectent-ils de leur apprentissage à l'école ? Où va cette curiosité naturelle ? Et comment pouvons-nous, en tant qu'éducateurs, faire en sorte que tous nos élèves vivent un voyage significatif et plein d'émerveillement tout au long de leur éducation ?C'est à ces questions que Trevor MacKenzie, auteur du célèbre livre Dive into inquiry , répond dans son nouveau livre La mentalité d'enquête . Co-écrit avec Rebecca Bathurst, enseignante en maternelle, La mentalité d'enquête offre un voyage très accessible à travers l'enquête dans les plus jeunes années. Vous apprendrez comment Donner du pouvoir à vos apprenants, accroître leur engagement et accélérer leur réussite.Exploiter les interrogations et les curiosités de vos élèves pour en faire de puissantes opportunités d'apprentissage.Cultiver un état d'esprit d'enquête à la fois en tant qu'enseignant et chez vos élèves.

Taking the Complexity Out of Concepts is a practical resource designed by Innovative Global Education (IGE) to assist educators in making the shift from a content-based curriculum to a conceptual curriculum. The authors' aim is to do what the title suggests, taking the complexity out of concepts in learning by providing practical strategies and ideas for teachers that can be implemented in any educational setting.To meet the demand for better professional learning materials devoted to conceptual learning, IGE has formulated the IGE Model for Formulating Conceptual Understandings and the three-stage IGE Template for Planning Conceptual Learning. In support of these pivotal resources, Taking the Complexity Out of Concepts also includes a number of case studies adapted from IGE's professional learning work with schools to serve as exemplars of how real-life educators are actually using the resources in their classrooms. Although the IGE approach to conceptual learning can be used with any syllabus, the case studies given in this book derive from the Australian Curriculum.Teaching through concepts is the best way to ensure coherency and transferability of learning. In making our method available through this book, IGE hopes that many more teachers and other educators will be able to avoid the complexities and harness the many benefits of conceptual learning.
