This site is the home of the Cycle of Inquiry System – a documentation tool that guides teacher’s emergent curricula planning, focusing teacher’s thinking on children’s thinking.

In Emergent Curricula classrooms teachers observe with intention. They interpret observations to discern what children know and question so they can facilitate learning and problem solving along with children. Children are encouraged to express their knowledge, to question, and to problem solve through their interactions with a wide variety of materials and social interactions. Documentation of the learning and thinking processes of children and teachers is essential for the reflective practices in this approach. The Cycle of Inquiry System is a tool for this pedagogical documentation.
