Summary

Enquiring Minds is an approach to teaching and learning, developed by Futurelab (and funded by Microsoft through its Partners in Learning initiative), that takes students’ ideas, interests and experiences as its starting point, and provides them with more responsibility for the direction and content of their learning.

The Enquiring Minds website gives more information about what the project involves, and offers practical resources for introducing Enquiring Minds approaches in schools, including a downloadable guide.
