Description+of+Our+Model

Saint Patrick's School is an integrated Catholic school with about 280 children from Year 0 to Year 8. We are currently in our second year of the Minstry of Education ICT-PD contract as part of the "Rosetown Cluster" (6 schools in the Te Awamutu area).

We have already travelled some way down the Inquiry pathway and have reached a stage where we have begun to develop an Inquiry model tailored to suit our school. Our staff is changing at the same time. We need a place to put all the information and resources that relate to the work we have done to make Inquiry user-friendly for our teachers. This Wikispace then is going to be our "One Stop Shop" where teachers at any level of the school can find information that they need.

Our school's Inquiry consists of three strands:
 * Inquiry**
 * 1) Inquiry as a process
 * 2) ICT skills for teachers and children
 * 3) Thinking skills and the use of Graphic Organisers

This link comes from the "Concepts to Classroom" website and provides a good introduction to what Inquiry is all about.
