As I write this, I picture Trevor Mackenzie’s Inquiry swimming pool.
A representation of what the gradual release of responsibility (G.R.R) may look like through the process of an Inquiry.
This model’s design was intended to use on students…
and here I am
as a post secondary student
using this inquiry model
to scaffold myself
Quiet honestly, it feels wonderful to actively participate in the concept I am researching.
My inquiry research for both my free inquiry and my Education Inquiry is “How does 360 Degree Thinking help educators implement the G.R.R?”
My research for this topic is intended to expose
- Who this method helps
- When teachers should implement it
- How each strategy works
- How it releases responsibility through Executive Functioning Strategies
- What strategies it consists of
- Why this approach?
- Explore what other approaches there are?
- How this approach helps educators release the “spoon-feeding” approach that is all too often used
