Description
The authors set forth the theory and rationale behind adopting a Guided Inquiry approach to PreK-12 education, as well as the expertise, roles and responsibilities of each member of the instructional team.

Reviews:
-The authors take a step-by-step approach to building a case for their methodology. The reader is guided along. The voice of this easy-to-read text is that of a nurturing teacherenticing you to read on with encouragement; helping you to discover things you didnt know you knew; and even pushing you on when you need it. Every step of the way, the format of this book includes charts and figures to support the narrative. When a concept is introduced, it is clearly outlined and then broken into its individual elements giving the reader a working understanding....Although Guided Inquiry: Learning in the 21st Century is focused at schools in the 21st century, I recommend you get a copy of it, and read it. I believe it will help you think about what you do and how you do it —Museum Education Roundtable
-The benefits, theory, and research behind this title are precisely and competently explained. Each chapter discusses a different element beginning with setting up the Guided Inquiry Team to an explanation of how to meet content area curriculum standards, assess student work, teach information literacy, and prepare students for living and working in the 21st century. Librarians looking for a sensible, workable approach to help students make sense of their information-rich world will find this book a useful and accessible means of providing the support and understanding they need to thrive. Recommended. —Library Media Connection
