Inquiry

My brother is a DP at a high school and he told me that their year 9's are going to be learning through inquiry next year.He sounds really excited about it and although its come from what is in the NZC he also said he saw how excited his own 3 primary school children were about their own learning and wanted their pupils (and staff) to be as excited about their learning. When he said that for social studies y9's had done Ancient Egypt for 'ever' and what relevance did that have for their kids and community I could hear LW's words about making learning rich, real and RELEVANT. I am going to have lots of chats with my brother to see how it is going.
