What do you truly love to do? That single question put educator Trevor MacKenzie and a struggling student on an unintended and life-changing journey of inquiry, discovery, and meaningful learning. It was a journey that completely reshaped the way MacKenzie leads his classroom.

With the belief that all students deserve a chance to dig into their passions, and curiosities, MacKenzie has created a scaffolded approach to personalized learning by identifying the Types of Student Inquiry: Structured, Controlled, Guided, and Free Inquiry. Each type requires students to take progressively more control over their own learning, this inquiry-based learning model equips students to become lifelong learners.

In Dive into Inquiry, MacKenzie explains the Types of Student Inquiry and how you can use them in your own classroom. You'll learn how to...
* Offer learning opportunities that support everyone in your room
* Foster student agency
* Build community
* Create authentic connections between education and the real world

Most importantly, you'll learn how to provide learners with the necessary skills, knowledge, and understanding to be successful in their inquiry.
