The Inquiry-Based Model as a Teacher Tool
Inquiry-based learning has been used in classrooms for several decades. It invites participants to formulate “academic content by posing, investigating, and answering questions.” Using inquiry in this way encourages the formulation of questions and answers to work toward a discovery or solution. Teachers, too, can benefit from using this method to work toward their own pedagogical discoveries.

The Big 3 Questions: What? So What? Now What?
![Page 4: Reading Horizons: The Big 3 Questions to Inform and Improve Instruction](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022092622/5879896a1a28ab6c358b7115/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
What?
• What data do I have and what does it show about the class as a whole?• Where are students currently performing on a specific set of skills?• What results are different than what was expected?• What information about individual students is surprising?

So What?
• If these trends continue, what are the likely effects on individual students and the class? How important would those effects be to overall student achievement?
• What seems to be working effectively and how important is that to student progress?
• What isn’t working as well as it needs to and how important is that in the long term?

Now What?
Identifying the What? and So What? enables teachers to create the Now What? Developing an effective plan for the next four to five months is based on the knowledge, experience, and willingness of the educator to more deeply address the instructional needs of the class. Teachers often find the greatest success by choosing one or two strategies that can be easily added to lesson plans and implemented in upcoming weeks.
