"IDMifying" Inquiry Instruction in Your Social Studies Methods Course

"IDMifying" Inquiry Instruction in Your Social Studies Methods Course

Incorporating the C3 Framework and Inquiry Design Model (IDM) into a social studies methods course can be challenging. This webinar advances a particular approach for introducing to social studies teacher candidates the C3 Framework, inquiry, and IDM. Using Grant, Swan, and Lee's "Inquiry-Based Practice in Social Studies Education: Understanding the Inquiry Design Model" (2017) as the supporting text, social studies candidates themselves can engage in an IDM-modeled inquiry in order to learn about inquiry and the IDM and C3. By "IDMifying" the early part of a methods course, the foundation is laid for candidates to take informed action by developing their own inquiry to be implemented in an actual classroom.

By the end of this webinar, participants will be able to:

  • Incorporate and model actual IDM practice in their social studies methods courses;
  • Embed the IDM approach into teaching about the C3 Framework, inquiry-based practice, and the IDM itself; and
  • Develop in their teacher candidates greater self-efficacy in designing engaging and transformative inquiries for their own students.
