Recommended Reading for Inquiry-Based Teaching

Post by Teach1010 »

I was wondering if anyone has recommendations for good books or articles on teaching with the inquiry-based model, either in general or specific to secondary mathematics, that might help me speak intelligently on the topic in an interview. My experience is in traditional schools in the U.S. whose PD focus is not on inquiry, so I'm looking for other ways to gain that knowledge.

For math specifically, 'Mathematical Mindsets' by Jo Boaler has been a great recent read.

In general, the better schools have been implementing the strategies in 'Making Thinking Visible' by Ron Ritchhart, et al. for years now. I also recommend his book 'Creating Cultures of Thinking.'

A thorough understanding of backwards planning a la 'Understanding By Design' is also useful when discussing planning, inquiry, project based learning, Genius Hour, Maker spaces or whatever it is a school is implementing.

Anything by the IB, there are a lot of online resources as well as in print.
