GID – Guided Inquiry Design The icons represent the nuances of each phase. Open represented as an open circle. In GId we open to a concept to start with wonder and curiosity.

One such shift, inquiry-based instruction, is supported by evidence as a successful approach to fulfill the goals and processes of the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS). Inquiry-based instruction is a student-centered approach where the instructor guides the students through questions posed, methods designed, and data interpreted by the students. Through inquiry, students actively discover information to support their investigations.

For example, middle school students might be given the question “Can disease change the world?”
Information Literacy Training for All - The Outliers FEATURE Information Literacy Training for All The Outliers by Lark Birdsong, Birdsong Research The Information Literacy Initiative at the University of Washington Information School is a funded, active organization that began in 2007 after the successful training of a group of youth labeled “at-risk.” In the course of thinking about providing this kind of training, I came across bq’s editorial in the September 2008 issue of Searcher magazine in which she discusses the concept of “outliers.” At that time I had just started another information literacy class for women without homes at The Gathering Place, a day shelter for homeless women in Denver, Colo.
