Many independent investigations, one advisor
Two kinds of thinking: Design before students start, Guide once they do. The transition is the point.
THE DRIVING QUESTION
What in our community deserves to be understood. And how would an expert investigate it?
Design review: ready, not finished
The question invites real investigation, the performance is authentic, and the evidence students gather can actually answer it. You can launch, real inquiry begins now.
Each student gets a brief, milestones and success criteria. Then you move to Guide.
