Inquirers

Learner Profile Trait - Inquirer

People who are Inquirers are curious about the world. They love learning and discovering new things. They are able to independently research answers to their questions and will use those skills in life. We know how to learn independently and with others. We learn with enthusiasm and sustain our love of learning throughout life. 

How can parents help develop inquirers at home?

  • Visit places that spark curiosity. (parks, museums, nature preserve, etc.)

  • Encourage areas of your child’s interest by visiting the library to borrow books that explore these topics.

  • Develop an understanding of the Internet. Work with your child when the Internet is being used and try to instill the understanding that some Internet sites are not reputable. 

  • Model being an inquirer. Admit when you don’t know the answer to a problem or a question and seek out answers in front of your child.
