This document provides strategies for creating a student-centered classroom that promotes independence, critical thinking, and collaboration through inquiry-based learning. It suggests having students help establish class rules and participate in decision making. Students should also have ownership over areas of the classroom where they can publicly track their inquiry progress. Routines like daily duties can be taken on by inquiry groups who negotiate responsibilities. The document also outlines techniques for regular plenary sessions where students report back on their inquiry work, like having members of a group take turns sharing updates with the class.
