C63: Choosing Sub-Skills for our Units of Inquiry - a podcast by Lu Gerlach

Now we have gone over in-depth how to use the Approaches to Learning (ATLs), how will we select them for our units of inquiry.  This does not just apply to homeroom teachers, because all specialists and supporting teachings need to be part of the discussion.  If we expect these teachers to be a part of the teaching, they need to be part of the selection process.  

How can we consider everyone’s needs?  Quite simply.  The ATLs are universal skills that all learners need to acquire, so they are purposefully broad and applicable to any subject area.  How they are used is up to the teacher, which is the magical part.
