What is
Collaborative
Inquiry?

What is
Collaborative
Inquiry?
Relevant Collaborative
Reflective Iterative
Reasoned Adaptive
Reciprocal

Collaborative
inquiry is…
… an interative process in which teachers
collaborate to develop reasonable inquiry
questions by implementing research-based
strategies and reflecting on how they
impact relevant student learning needs in
the classroom.

However…
“There is no prescribed protocol,
nor is there a single path.”
Capacity Building Series, Collaborative Inquiry

Urgent Student
Learning Need
What is the most urgent student learning
need in your classroom?
What data sources do you have to
support this?
Is it related to content? Learning skill?
Both?

Inquiry Question
Uses neutral, exploratory language
Begins with “how” or “what”
Clearly specifies the focus of your inquiry

Theory of
Action
What will you do and what are the
expected outcomes?
Serves as a storyline for your inquiry
Written as a series of “if… then…”
statements

Exemplar
Urgent Student Learning Need
Inability to demonstrate understanding
through multiple representations.

Exemplar
Urgent Student Learning Need
Inability to demonstrate understanding of
algebra through multiple representations.
Inquiry Question
How will embedding animations of
algebraic concepts impact student ability
to show understanding in multiple ways?

Exemplar
Theory of Action
If we embed short videos with animated
visualizations of algebraic concepts when
introducing new math concepts, then
student engagement will increase.

Exemplar
Theory of Action
If student engagement increases during
the introduction of new algebraic conepts,
then students will be more likely to
remember their multiple representations.

Visualizing Measurement

Use the data provided to help
inform your decisions

Connecting Student
Learning Need to
the Curriculum
Does your student learning need exist
throughout every strand?
What are indicators suggesting this
student learning need exists?
What over-arching theme will be present
to monitor this learning need
throughout your course?

I Can Learn Anything

Monitoring
Each team member will:
Create three (3) assessment tools:
Diagnostic
Mid-course check-in
Final check-in
Ensure the assessment addresses your
student learning need as it exists
throughout the course strands

Data Submission
We will share the link for online data
submission in the coming days.
Let’s take a look at the data submission
form…

Reflect and Refine
Reflect throughout the year:
Have you selected the most urgent
student learning need?
Are the specific changes in my theory
of action improving student
achievement?
Is there anything I could do differently?

Pre-MYCI Survey
Please have your students complete
the Pre-MYCI Mathematics Survey
