The DBQ Project in Vallejo

The DBQ Project integrates skills with content, and all lessons takes an inquiry approach to learning. The value of inquiry-based learning is that it not only piques students’ curiosity and engagement, it also leads to deeper learning. Each lessons starts with a compelling question, takes students through the inquiry process of interrogating evidence, formulating conclusions, and marshaling evidence to support those conclusions.

The online training was engaging and well received by teachers during this time of distance learning. There was a great balance between theory and hands-on practice, and the technology pieces were clearly and professionally explained. I highly recommend this online training and the DBQ Project for both in-person and distance learning.
