“The Guided Inquiry Design Framework lays out a nice step by step process for planning unit lessons. It correlates well with the Marzano practices along with the OKA+ Essentials Framework. If we keep doing things the same, we will continue to have the same results! We will start where we are and grow with the process.”

“When learning has meaning students take it and own it , Guided Inquiry helps us to do that.”  

-teacher

“I think it fits in perfectly with what we’re trying to accomplish…with our focus on A+ and collaborative integrated planning! It is the end goal!”

-principal

“Guided Inquiry has changed teaching and learning in Norman, Oklahoma. Classroom teachers, resource teachers, teacher librarians, and gifted resource coordinators are working more collaboratively than ever to reach and teach ALL students. The interest and engagement are evident when students are involved in this research-based teaching model. Students are learning so much more than basic information. They are eager to ask questions and take ownership for their learning. The energy in our classrooms is evident.”
