What I am aware of right now is you will 1) attend the EduCon conference at Science Leadership Academy in January to network and learn; 2) meet regularly with your PLC team (including me) this spring to develop preliminary approaches. I would suggest you take a look at the following:
 * Date || Observations/Thoughts || Commenter ||
 * January 6, 2010 || I think your focus is towards designing a pilot inquiry-driven classroom for Honors Precalc next year. Your process appears to be a) independent study/reading, b) the formation of a PLC with two other Honors Precalc teachers at Lovett who will jointly pilot classes with you next year, and c) identification with practices and practioners who can assist you in your research and development.

1. Check out the book and resources posted by the Inquiry Based Learning Cohort. The book may be a good general approach. Also, two of the fellows in that cohort are high school math teachers at North Atlanta. Check out the blog by Kasele Mshinda as I've been impressed with her approach and thinking. (Go visit her classroom? I'd love to join you...) 2. Using Delicious and my username (ldeisley) and the additional extension of my network, do some research on inquiry. I will continue to look for people in my network to mentor/assist you. || Laura Deisley ||
