Blueprinting an Inquiry-Based Curriculum: Planning with the Inquiry Design Model
Kathy Swan; S. G. Grant; John Lee
Social Education, v84 n6 p377-383 Nov-Dec 2020
Teachers introduced to the Inquiry Design Model (IDM) are often relieved to learn that inquiry isn't a fuzzy ideal, but rather is a curricular approach with a defined vernacular--questions, tasks, and sources. The inquiry blueprint is a one-page visual representation of the questions, tasks, and sources that define an inquiry. In the blueprint, there are compelling and supporting questions, formative and summative performance tasks, and disciplinary sources that aid students in answering the inquiry's questions. In this article, the authors draw on their recent book, "Blueprinting an Inquiry Curriculum: Planning with the Inquiry Design Model" to describe five different types of Inquiry Design Model blueprints that promote the kind of curriculum flexibility teachers need.
