Exploring Inquiry Based Learning (IBL) Strategies
Wednesday, April 14, 3:00-6:00 PM
Headlands Institute, Marin Headlands, Golden Gate National Recreational Area

IBL is a form of teaching which involves the teacher as a ‘guide on the side’ rather than a ‘sage on stage’. In other words, students guide their discovery, by formulating questions and figuring out how to answer those questions. In this way, students are invested in their learning and are more motivated to get results.

-IBL Instructor,Yosemite National Institute Staff

Join us for an afternoon of stimulating discussion and inquiry based exploration in the beautiful Marin Headlands. Learn more about IBL, why it is a valuable approach to teaching, and how it can be utilized to engage participants in your museum programs. Please wear comfortable shoes, as we will be walking outdoors.
