As an instructor you’ve been told, “If you’re not talking, you’re not teaching!” As a student, you are likely unwilling to question your instructor, believing them to be an “expert”. Telling, demonstrating and criticizing does not always equate to good teaching nor an understanding of the material. In this interactive clinic, we’ll explore how to structure a lesson using inquiry-based learning so the student and instructor get a chance to experiment and learn. We’ll see how answering questions with leading questions, being curious and self-reflecting are essential skills that can be used to explore new information, move towards correlation and unlock an authentic assessment. Join us for a fun and engaging clinic for both instructors and non-instructors.

Pilot Proficiency at EAA AirVenture 2024
Inquiry-based learning is a type of active learning that encourages the asking of questions, doing research and the exploration of ideas.
Working in teams and using the Nine Principles of Light Aircraft Flying, participants will design an inquiry-based flight and/or ground lesson.
Using the Redbird Sims, participants will split into and swap instructor and student roles to put their instructor skills to the test.
