Yet another topic that came up at the early childhood workshop was the idea of organizing a study circle and/or lunch bunch for staff to get together and talk about the use of inquiry in your classrooms.
Such conversations and discussions around the documentation of children's work is a critically important component of inquiry.
At this point I can offer you continuing education hours for any work you do together on this--no $$ (sorry :( )
To move this forward: please post a comment to this blog within the next week if you are interested in being part of a study circle and/or lunch bunch inquiry group. Once we see who is interested, we can move forward to make it happen!

Hello-
I would be interested in getting together for a "lunch-bunch" meeting to discuss the ECIP and strategies for documentation of the ECIP (as well as inquiry in my classroom). I only work on Tuesdays and Thursdays, so those would be my preferred times.
I'm excited to hear that you're interested, Brit! Who else is going to join her???
Mary-
Marjean, Susan, Kim, Alissa and I are all hoping to get together every 6 weeks to talk about our ideas and strategies for implementing inquiry-based teaching in our classrooms, as well as strategies for documentation.
FABULOUS! I'll be anxious to hear what you're learning, what certainties you're questioning and what direction your work is going in.
