What is Guided Inquiry?Guided Inquiry is "carefully planned, closely supervised targeted intervention of an instructional team of school librarians and teachers to guide students through curriculum based inquiry units that gradually lead towards independent learning."
(Kuhglthau, Maniotes, & Caspari, 2007)
Inquiry“Divergent thinking is encouraged and nurtured as students recognize that questions often have more than one “good” or “correct” answer.
