Inquiry Based
Learning Workshop Announced
On Saturday, September 8 @ 10am Darke County Parks invites educators to
attend a free program geared towards hands-on, investigative
learning. Inquiry is a fundamental tool used to trigger a
student’s curiosity along with building confidence, encouraging
independent behavior, and strengthening their ability to handle complex
problems. This technique can create excitement in the classroom
as students take a hands-on approach to learning. Facilitator
Kathi McQueen is a naturalist for the park and obtained her graduate
degree through Miami University’s Project Dragonfly which utilizes
inquiry and participatory education approaches to enhance
learning.
This program will be held at the Shawnee Prairie Preserve Nature Center
and registration is required. Please call 937-548-0165 if you
would like to register or have additional questions.
