Target Audience: 6-12 Teachers (Social Studies) & Instructional Coaches

Join fellow social studies educators for a dynamic four-part virtual book study of Inquiry-Based Practice in Social Studies Education by S.G. Grant, Kathy Swan, and John Lee. In this interactive professional learning series, participants will unpack the Inquiry Design Model (IDM) to reimagine teaching and learning through meaningful questions, authentic tasks, and rich sources.

Each one-hour session explores key chapters of the text and offers practical, classroom-ready strategies to design and implement inquiry-based instruction that deepens understanding and student engagement.

Walk away with inquiry blueprints, adaptable templates, and a clear plan for transforming your next unit into an authentic, student-driven investigation of the world.
