"Concept-Based Inquiry has completely changed how I approach everything I do in school."
Teaching students, conferring with small groups, coaching teachers, and leading PD.
The main shift has been a huge increase in the amount of time and methods I use during concept formation. I have seen such progress from all students and the teachers I work with as a result.
