Concept-Based Inquiry Made Simple

Finally, a way to understand concept based inquiry that actually makes sense.

Concept-Based Inquiry Made Simple is a self-paced mini course for inquiry teachers who are struggling to understand what concept-based inquiry actually is.

Too many PYP teachers feel caught between traditional topic work and “true” inquiry. They know something's not right, but the frameworks and terminology feel abstract and overwhelming.

In this mini course, you'll cut through the confusion and build a crystal-clear mental model of concept-based inquiry. You'll discover:

• The one big idea that changes everything about how you design units
• Why most inquiry fails (and it has nothing to do with you being a bad teacher)
• How to identify genuine concepts and tell them apart from topics, themes, and big questions
• The hidden synergy between topics and concepts (why you don't have to choose between them)
• The difference between inquiry and student-led learning (and why it matters)
• Practical classroom strategies to amplify conceptual understanding in everything your students do
• How to develop your “concept seekers”: students who notice patterns, make connections, and think conceptually
• Hands-on strategies for building concept-seeking behaviours into daily classroom life
• Real classroom examples showing concept-based inquiry in action across grade levels
• How to start small and build your confidence before overhauling your entire practice

By the end, concept-based inquiry won't feel like jargon anymore. It'll feel like a practical, achievable approach you actually understand and can implement tomorrow.
