Review
“Guided Inquiry Design: A Framework for Inquiry in Your School provides a wealth of information on how to use guided inquiry to create a student-focused learning environment . . . This book is immensely useful for K–12 teachers and school librarians, as well as for academic librarians who are interested in adapting the guided inquiry process for one-shot information literacy workshops or semester-long research skills courses.” ―Endnotes: The Journal of the New Members Round Table
“Drawing on experiences and research, the work will encourage, enable, and support the use of guided inquiry into any school, using examples and supporting findings. This is a welcome addition to any professional development collection in any academic setting.” ―ARBA
“This research-based framework walks teachers through the inquiry process with a focus on collaboration and modeling. . . . This book makes visible to students the many things that researchers intuitively do during inquiry and makes it easy to apply for teachers and librarians.” ―Library Media Connection
“The opening chapter provides an overview of the eight-step Guided Inquiry Design Process. . . . Subsequent chapters delve deeply into each step, backing it up with research, and showing how the larger team contributes to it. The final chapter explores 'Building Guided Inquiry in Your School.' Logs, diagrams, charts, and session plans clarify the process further and give you practical help for incorporating Guided Inquiry Design into your library program.” ―School Librarian's Workshop

- Reviewed in the United States on November 2, 2013Love it - brings so many ideas and teaching strategies together into a clear model that you know will support and engage students with 21st century learning.
- Reviewed in the United States on September 4, 2014Format: PaperbackVerified PurchaseIt was what I expected.
- Reviewed in the United States on August 30, 2018Format: PaperbackThe GID is an effective learning process for students because it creates an empowered framework in which they take charge of their learning. This book helps educators design and implement the process, and assess student learning. It also offers opportunities for classroom teachers, school librarians, and other educators to create a team to support student success. I had the good fortune of co-leading a professional book study for GID: A Framework for Inquiry in Your School. School, public, and university librarians and librarian educators in Denton, Texas, participated and worked toward developing a community-wide understanding of this inquiry process. The GID works!
- Reviewed in the United States on August 20, 2012Format: PaperbackA colleague from another field pointed me toward this book and asked me whether I could use the structure in my teaching. I teach both a semester-long course and numerous one-shot library instruction sessions at a university. Carol Kulthau's framework would work well in the college setting, particularly in semester-long courses. Her eight phases help teachers learn to develop and explore their own questions in increasingly sophisticated ways. As for the library instruction classroom, I can see working with one phase at a time and producing some very productive sessions. A seriously useful read!

4.0 out of 5 stars it's a textbook. using it for a voluntary book ...
Format: PaperbackVerified Purchaseit's a textbook. using it for a voluntary book club, and wishing it had some more practical content on exactly how to work through a guided design inquiry project from beginning to end. still appreciate the ideas and rationale and look forward to sharing it with administrators at my school.
