Big Questions

Inquiry-Based Learning

Leanne Williams - Learning Specialist Engagement

Term 1 & 2

 

During the last week year level teams had an opportunity to reflect on Term 1's Big Questions. At EPS we use reflection as a way forward, a way to refine our inquiry-based learning delivery. What can we celebrate and how can we overcome any challenges?

 

The conversation then focused on Term 2 and how teams want their Big Questions to look like, feel like and sound like? 

 

An example of the questions raised:

 

  • What is currently happening in the world?
  • What authentic connections can be made to deepen students' understanding? 
  • Is there an opportunity for 'action' to be taken?

Below are our Term 2 Big Questions and the corresponding curriculum area. It's going to be an exciting term!

 

As always, if you have any expertise related to one of our Big Questions and would like to get involved, send me an email: leanne.williams2@education.vic.gov.au
