Iowa took up the challenge! This article describes how teacher librarians across Iowa teamed with classroom teachers to create inquiry-based learning plans for a professional development class called "Inquiry Learning through the School Library" during the 2010-2011 school year. The class was offered statewide over the Iowa Communications Network (ICN) and Moodle, an online class environment. Overall, class participants saw the benefits of collaboration. Many indicated that they wanted to develop that relationship in future lessons. They saw student engagement increase with the inquiry approach and thought that students used higher-order thinking skills as they took learning into their own hands. (Lists 7 resources.)
