Inquiry is essential to all learning

Smokey Daniels tells the story of how to keep kids curious thru inquiry. It felt like it was mostly about lower elementary however not upper. In upper most compelling inquiries help kids understand nuance and contradictions as they develop to realize that all is not black and white.
