Hello everyone interested in Guided Inquiry. This wiki contains much to help you get started with GI, its only downside being the absence of interaction between the 500 or so people who have joined the wiki. Maybe one of the simplest ways of getting some dialogue going is to ask you to post your questions here on the front page chat box. Please go ahead. Lee FitzGerald

I met a TL at the SLANSW State Library Day, Bronwen Campbell, and she told me she has been using Guided Inquiry in her RFF lessons. Many TLs have asked me how RFF and GI would be managed as we usually work collaboratively with a teacher for GI. She emailed me her Plan and the workbook and I have uploaded it to the Stage 2 area of Curriculum Units. Her email address is included for any queries. We encourage more people to share in this way.

And I've put some new secondary units for Year 7 on Ancient Egypt and Exploring the world up, as well. Oh and a simple way of explaining the Guided Inquiry process to students. It's on the side bar of this page.

Lucy Roberson has just uploaded a Stage 3 programme on 'Desert Survivors'. I have linked it in the 'Units of Work - Primary' above. Thank you Lucy! It is especially good to have your evaluation of the unit as well.
