Planning and curriculum development can be done in many ways. Using inquiry to focus curriculum is one way of engaging with children to inquire, to explore, and to learn. By starting with a question, inquiry-based learning guides and informs teachers to support children’s interests and exploration.
Kim and the team at Kids’ Domain discuss how they use an inquiry-based model to learn and explore with and alongside their children.
