What do the footprints of a robin look like? Do ants climb trees? These questions were all inspired by our study of our schoolyard at the Mission Hill School.  Come discuss why no school should be without outdoor learning, how inquiry isn't just for science, and  how letting children lead an investigation will take your thinking deeper.\u201d","Description":"The conversation focus will be about the benefits of using the inquiry process for science, but also for many aspects of a students day.  \r\n\r\nThe conversation will include . . . \r\n - Myself and others sharing our experiences.  \r\n - Learning about The Quest Inquiry process out of Miami University\r\n- Discussion of what outdoor learning with inquiry can bring for children with special needs and English language learners.\r\n-Discussion will also include aspects of walking in the shoes of the students we teach and conducting inquiry our selves.\r\n- We will reflect on we we know and what are obstacles to helpers to getting thinking about inquiry","Link":["http:\/\/www.missionhillschool.org"],"Audience":["Elementary School"],"Practice":"I am a collaborative educator.  One of the first things I do is talk with the people who attend about the fact as a collective we are a force.  I bring up ideas to spark thought.  People then ask questions that others answer as well as my voice being a part of the conversation.","Presenter":["Katherine Clunis D'Andrea"],"PresenterAffiliation":["The Mission Hill School"],"PresenterEmail":["kdandrea@missionhillschool.org"],"ScheduleSlotID":25,"ScheduleLocationID":11,"SubmitterID":79,"AdditionalComments":null,"LiveChannel":null,"Hashtag":null,"VokleID":null,"RecordingURL":null,"ConferenceID":3}}
