An additional resource I just came across is a book by Mary Cowhey, Black Ants and Buddhists; Thinking Critically and Teaching Differently in the Primary Grades, 2006. This book looks at what the classroom would look like if understanding and respecting differences in race, culture, beliefs, and opinions were at its heart. The author uses personal teaching experiences to illustrate the truth behind making connections between the students’ lives, the books they read, the community leaders they meet, and the larger world.

During my Problem Based researching I have found some additional support to implementing this teaching and  learning into the classroom.  One of  these resources includes an additional book written by John Barell, Developing More Curious Minds, 2003. This book is written in a narrative format, so it is easy to follow. I have found that this book is a great resource for looking into different models of inquiry and how to best support them.  This book looks at taking typical classroom practices and extending them through inquiry.  Barell states, "This practices become habits of mind, students' daily curiosities must be nurtured and supported."
