Museums have great potential to inspire students through rich resources, but how do you connect with schools to create these opportunities? In this session we will examine concepts behind Guided Inquiry that will enhance how you approach learning opportunities in your museum, build stronger collaborations with schools, and foster an inquiry approach. Based on the book Guided Inquiry: Learning in the 21st Century local author, Leslie Maniotes will describe the approach and lead discussion. http://blog.mer-online.org/2008/09/book-review-guided-inquiry-learning-in.html
