What is it? Guide inquiry is a teaching and learning methodology that will change the culture in a school into a collaborative inquiry-based culture. Students will discover deeper understandings of the content and make personal connections with their own lives and backgrounds. This leads to student engagement by challenging them to question, explore, and make new learning.

Process
- Open Phase
- Immersion Phase
The process of guided inquiry begins with the 'hook' in the open phase. This is where the students minds are opened and their curiosity is sparked. The immersion phase guides students to connect with the subject matter by activate their background knowledge and discover new ideas to explore.

Process
- Explore phase
- Identify phase
- Gather phase
The explore phase allows students to browse through many sources and to explore different ideas to guide their inquiry questions. Then the learners will identify an inquiry question and form a focus unique for them. The gathering of useful information pertaining to their question is next, pushing students to gather as many details from a variety of sources as they can.

Process
- Create phase
- Share phase
- Evaluate phase
Creating a presentation of their choice to demonstrate their learning should include a reflection on learning and going beyond the facts by interpreting and extending the meaning of what it is that they learned. Sharing the presentation with peers and others is the culminating phase of inquiry, and then their achievement of the learning goals are finally evaluated.
