C109: Local and Global Inquiry in the Early Years

Confessions of a PYP Teacher

As I finish this series on local and global inquiry, I couldn’t forget my early years friends. Oftentimes, there are many strategies presented that are beyond the scope of what our little people can do. I wanted to honor your special role in making learning come alive too.
In connection to the Crafting Inquiry conference, I was inspired by the ideas of Kimberly Mitchell about asking deeper questions with our learners. She posed this question that made me think.
Wondering: What gets in the way of students (and teachers) from asking questions?
Kimberly gave some concrete reasons for why educators do not ask a wider range of questions. I’d like to explore further and apply them to making local and global connections.
