            <p>Shifting from traditional, lecture-heavy instruction to active learning can often feel like a tricky balancing act. You want your students to deeply understand the material and think like true scholars in your discipline, rather than just memorizing facts to pass an exam. That is exactly where guided inquiry comes in. In this course, we will unpack the guided inquiry cycle and explore how it bridges the gap between unguided discovery and rigid, lecture-centered teaching. You will learn how to craft compelling, evidence-seeking questions and design activities that provide just the right amount of structure. By setting clear, measurable outcomes and choosing the right disciplinary sources, you can create an environment where students take real intellectual ownership of their learning.</p>

<p>Beyond just designing the curriculum, we will also dive into the practical realities of making inquiry work in your actual classroom.
