Thrive with Inquiry: Approaches to Inquiry, Design, and Assessment – Dr. John Lee

Dr. John Lee kicked off the 2025 Learning Lab with an inspiring message about focusing on the ‘why’ behind instruction and positioning students to use the information and skills they learn in the classroom forward into their lives.

Dr. Lee provided an overview of the Inquiry Design Process and walked attendees through the C3 Inquiry Arc, showing educators how to use inquiry to move beyond memorization to student-driven learning that sticks.
