    Concept-Based Inquiry Learning Labs Conference

    "Promotional image for the CBI Learning Lab session on language and case studies, facilitated by Soha Saad for Grades 2–3 educators."

    In this interactive session, participants will step into the role of second and third grade students as they explore the works of Eric Carle, Dr. Seuss and Mo Willems to explore how different authors use written text, description, and illustration. Guiding questions and conceptual thinking will anchor the experience, modelling how language learning can be deepened through inquiry.

    Innovate – Share – Empower Conference

    International School of Monaco – January 2025

    Inquiry with Purpose: Guiding Students to Conceptual Understandings

    "Session banner for 'Guiding Students to Conceptual Understandings' by Soha Saad at the International School of Monaco conference."

    This session shares practical strategies to support students in articulating their conceptual understanding through guided inquiry. 

    Through real classroom experiences, we will unpack three practical strategies: 

    • Crafting guiding questions that lift students’ thinking from the factual to the conceptual level.
    • Selecting case studies that prompt pattern finding and connection making.
    • Scaffolding students to articulate their own understandings.
