I shared a bit about this resource Friday afternoon. In 2015, I was hired by OPHEA (Ontario Physical and Health Education Association) to write a guide to inquiry based learning in order to support the implementation of the new HPE curriculum released in Sept. 2016. Inquiry based learning skills were not as evident in the HPE curriculum as it was in the CWS curriculum so something was needed to help teachers embed it into their teaching.
It is similar to the inquiry process in CWS Formulate Questions, Gather and organize, Interpret and Analyse, Evaluate and Draw Conclusions, Communicate plus one more Reflection (on each of the other 5 components)
Although the resource is connected to the HPE curriculum content, many pieces can be used with any subject area. Each of the stages of the inquiry process include the same types of information:
-skills students need to learn and develop to do the inquiry component
-assessments
-success criteria
-student reflection questions about that inquiry component
-tools and strategies to support learning the component
Because the Ministry supported OPHEA producing this document it is a free resource available at the link above. You do not need to belong to OPHEA or have a subscription to their resources.
Enjoy, Deb
