David Truss shares his Inquiry Hub model and a Slideshare presentation on the 7 Ways to Transform Your Classroom along with audio recordings of the Classroom 2.0 Show "Inquiry Learning and Empowering Students" on September 29th. Here is just a glimpse of the 7 Ways to transform your classroom.
> Transforming Classrooms with Inquiry: It starts with educators asking really good questions. > Transforming Classrooms with Voice: Be it a presentation to a small group, the entire school, the local community or online (with the world), work with students to craft their message in thoughtful, well represented ways. > Transforming Classrooms with Audience: Through the use of blogs, wikis, digital portfolios and social media tools, you can invite the world to be a participatory audience in the work that our students do. > Transforming Classrooms with Community: Provide opportunities for projects to extend beyond age-group peers to include younger and/or older students, parents and teachers, community members, subject area experts, and students from around the globe. > Transforming Classrooms with Leadership: Buddy up with students in younger classes. Create activities and events which truly allow students to ‘run the show’. > Transforming Classrooms with Play: There is a lot of pedagogy in play (at all ages). Do we provide “gaps” in our teaching? Time and spaces where students can be creative beyond the scope of the content we are teaching? > Transforming Classrooms with Networks: Skype is a great tool to bring classes from across the country or across the globe together.
Thank you David for sharing your model and vision to transform learning!

"The Inquiry Hub program, established in September as part of the district's own inquiry into what the much-vaunted "personalized learning" could look like, currently has 37 Grade 9 to 11 students enrolled. They hail from SD43 as well as Burnaby and New Westminster school districts.
Stephen Whiffin, who helped start the program, along with Dave Truss, the current lead administrator, said the Inquiry Hub is for any student who is passionate about investigating a subject and likes using technology to seek answers to their questions."
Kathleen McClaskey's insight:
Was so glad to see Inquiry Hub featured in this article. It is school that is getting education right from the start and a great example of personalized learning!

At Coquitlam Open Learning, students in Grades 8 to 12 signed up for a whole new way of learning at the Inquiry Hub where "students will pursue their own education based on a student-driven inquiry approach."
Instead of taking individual core courses, such as English, social studies and math, students will pursue experiences based on their interests in one of the themes that include community and global issues; environmental sustainability; and media arts, design and technology — and they’ll have to demonstrate their learning in each of these areas.
Thank you Stephen Whiffin (COL principal) and David Truss (COL vice-principal) with your vision and courage!
