Accessing teaching resources for planning and assessing inquiry Much of the focus of OESSTA has been on creating instructional videos with the belief that teachers need to see how inquiry could work. There is also a turn towards explicit teaching of the steps of the inquiry process and the strategies and concepts involved in historical thinking. Some online destinations to consider for teacher resources include: OESSTA: http://oessta-teachers.ca The Historical Thinking Project: http://historicalthinking.ca Critical Thinking Consortium: http://tc2.ca Edugains (Ministry of Education): http://www.edugains.ca Inquiry-based Learning Blog: http://inquiry-based.blogspot.ca Intermediate History and Geography: http:// intermediateinquiry.blogspot.ca Geckosteeves Wordpress Blog: https://geckosteeves. wordpress.com 3. Connecting teachers to professional learning networks for continual growth and sharing. The following organizations are only a small number of groups that teachers can join: OESSTA: Forum (on our website); Twitter: @oessta1 (#ontsshg); Twitter chats on select Thursdays at 9:00 p.m. OTF Connects (resources, webinars): http://www.otffeo. on.ca/en/learning/otf-connects OTF Summer Institutes (3-day summer workshops on various topics) Teach Ontario (webinars): https://www.teachontario.ca/ welcome OSLA: Twitter @ONLibraryAssoc, #tlchat z
