Units of Inquiry-Resources
Resources that support transdisciplinary Units of inquiry. These resources are designed to help support thinking and learning across transdisciplinary units of inquiry.
Developing a unit of inquiry involves using both topic specific and learning process resources. At BeConWiz we are dedicated to creating resources that support the learning process while developing skills, subject specific knowledge, conceptual understandings while supporting the choice and voice of students.
We offer a range of differentiated resources that can be used for specific units of inquiry or used time and time again across multiple units of inquiry. The visual cues on the resources enable learners to develop a language of learning.
