We would like to acknowledge

and thank the Coast Salish
Nations of Musqueam,

Tsleil-Waututh, and Squamish
on whose traditional territory
we teach, learn, and live on.
Intentions:
Today we will ….
 Explore some of the key understandings of the draft

curriculum

 Model an inquiry–based learning environment
Meet Nathaniel, Naomi, & Sami
What do we want for our children?
 What do we want their school experience to be like?
 What skills, abilities, and understandings do we want

when they cross the stage at the end of grade 12?
 What are the life-long attributes we hope for our

children?
Reflective Write
Three Minute Write:
What do our curriculum & our classrooms need to look
like so that our children are walking across the stage at
graduation with the things that we value?
Synthesize
 Circle ONE KEY word that captures the essence of

your reflective write.
Charles Kettering

Shifting to concept-based curriculum
Concept-Based, Competency-Driven Curriculum
Founded on the core competencies and focuses on big ideas
Examples of Big Ideas:
ELA K-9: “Language and literature help us find meaning and joy”.

Science 8: “Cell theory explains the fundamental nature of life”.
Math 8:”Proportional reasoning helps us make sense of how quantities
are related in real-life contexts”.
Social Studies 8: “The increasing connectedness of global society
carries both positive and negative consequences.”
Concept Based: Big Ideas
• From many specific PLOS to fewer, broader

Learning Standards

• Build deeper understandings
• Use knowledge & understandings in different

contexts

• Can shape curriculum in innovative,

creative, and responsive ways
What are Core Competencies
Core Competencies are:
•

the intellectual, personal, and social proficiencies needed for success in
school, careers, and life

 Thinking Competency
o Critical thinking
o Creative thinking
o Reflective thinking
 Personal and Social Competency
o Positive personal and cultural identity

Frayer Vocabulary Chart
Some Understandings …
Inquiry-based teaching is problem or question
driven; it encourages collaboration; it makes
kids into explorers and discoverers; it requires
kids to think; and it puts teachers in
nonconventional roles.
- Stephanie Harvey & Harvey Daniels from
Inquiry Circles in Action: Collaboration and
Comprehension

Karen Hume: Tuned Out
Case Learning

Involves inquiry if used when the case study is problem based, but not if it serves
as a review of previously taught concepts presented in narrative form.

Expeditionary
Learning

Inquiry that involves exploration of the natural world and/or the community
through students going out into the world and experts coming into the school.

Group
Investigations

Inquiry that is divided among small groups, with each group conducting its own
investigation of an aspect of the question or problem. Groups work
interdependently to share results and come to conclusions.

Literature
Circles

Inquiry through small, peer-led reading discussion groups, using any text form
(Harvey and Daniels, 2009)

Problem-Based
Learning (PBL)

Inquiry based on a problem that is presented so students recognize they need to
learn new knowledge in order to solve the problem.

Project-Based
Learning

Inquiry that results in the construction of a performance or artefact. Note that not
all student-centered products are the result of an inquiry.

Simulations

Involve inquiry when they provide a way for students to discover a variety of
perspectives, such as through role-play
Inquiry Definitions
Inquiry inducts students into the business of all
content areas, professions, and real-world
work. In other words, inquiry is the
apprenticeship into true expertise and
understanding by doing what experts do.
Jeffery Wilhelm, Peggy Wilhelm, and Erika
Boas, from Inquiring Minds: Learn to Read
and Write
