This week I learned a lot about inquiry based learning and differentiation. Inquiry based learning moves the students closer to the steering wheel in regard to their education. Students can ask questions and then seek answers, all while in the classroom. Students can begin with basic facts, work to concepts, and then take that information into real life. That is the point of inquiry based learning: connection information to real life in order to engage students and get them motivated to take a more active role in their education.
Differentiation speaks of adapting your teaching style to reach all of your students. Your students aren't all cut from the same mold. They have strengths and weaknesses, and it is our job as teachers to teach to their strengths. I can use this information in the future to reach more of my students and to hopefully get them more interested in education overall.
