=Inquiry-based Learning - Learning Begins with Questions=
 * Day 3:**
 * Welcome**
 * Inquiry-based Learning**


 * Learning begins with the learner. What children know and what they want to learn are the very foundations of learning.**
 * Dewey's description of the four primary interests of the child are still appropriate starting points:**
 * 1) **the child's instinctive desire to find things out**
 * 2) **in conversation, the propensity children have to communicate**
 * 3) **in construction, their delight in making things**
 * 4) **in their gifts of artistic expression.**

**What is Inquiry-based Learning?**
 * Inquiry is an approach to learning that involves a process of exploring the natural or material world, that leads to asking questions and making discoveries in the search for new understandings.**
