SLANSW Professional Learning Summit - All the Literacies: Read, Discern, Discover

Gabrielle Mace (ProReadingSolutions)

Building Critical Literacy Through Authentic Inquiry

This workshop explores how inquiry-based learning frameworks, specifically Barbara Stripling's Model of Inquiry and Guided Inquiry Design (GID) can transform literacy instruction from passive reading to active investigation. Participants will engage in a mini-inquiry experience, analysing a set of conflicting evidence to practice reading, discovering, and discerning.
