Dave Truss, Vice Principal of the Inquiry Hub in Coquiltam, BC, Canada, shares his thoughts about inquiry and personalized learning. Why questions matter!
In an interview with Dave Truss, he describes the Inquiry Hub, what it will offer students in Grades 8-12 and how it will help students understand how they learn best. Here is just a glimpse of this in-depth interview:
Q. What is The Inquiry Hub:
"The Inquiry Hub was inspired by conversations around our district vision of “Learning Without Boundaries”."
Q. Can you explain the student-driven inquiry approach to learning?
"We are working on the simple premise that if we help students develop meaningful and engaging questions around their own interests, passions and ideas that matter to them, then the learning will be rich and meaningful to our entire learning community. By helping students connect, create and learn together, we will encourage them to look outside of their box and seek a world of potential."
Thank you Dave for the inspiration and commitment you have made to the learners in your school!

Dave Truss, Vice Principal and Lead Administrator of the Inquiry Hub in Vancouver, shared how inquiry around topics builds communities of learners.
Kathleen McClaskey's insight:
Don't miss this project that was designed by learners at The Inquiry Hub. The back story is that the learners wrote a grant so they could design and built this community garden. Here are some insights into The Inquiry Hub.
"The structure of the Inquiry Hub is around topics. In the morning, the teachers and learners start off with a topical workshop. Then the learners work on online courses guided by their teachers. In the afternoon they work on their inquiry project individually and/or collaboratively. Dave shared a topic that took a life of its own: The Green Inquiry Project where Shauna, Sophia, and Hanna wrote and received a wildlife grant as part of their environmental sustainability group."

I love the name "Inquiry Hub"...such a powerful way to help us all reimagine what a learning community can be if it's not a "school." |
Join us on December 17th (5pm ET, 4pm CT, 3pm MT, 2pm PT) to talk with David Truss and The Inquiry Hub learners!
Learn from the learners how the Inquiry Hub provides them with blended instruction, reduced timetable structure, and a learner-driven inquiry approach to learning. See how they have topical workshops instead of daily classes, use extensive online learning resources, a small school learning commons environment, and dedicated inquiry time. David asked some of the kids to share with you what learning really looks like at the Inquiry Hub.
We would like to thank Classroom 2.0 for supporting this webinar series!
