Evergreen and Growing

The Washington C3 Hub hosts a growing number of teacher-created and classroom tested inquires. Using the Inquiry Design Model, teachers across Washington, the Evergreen State are developing resources to share with their colleagues.

Resources to help embed inquiry and proven social studies instructional practices into K-12 classes

Inquiries in Washington

Inquiries published in the C3 Washington Hub were designed by educators using the Inquiry Design Model. Our goal is to develop a repository of inquiries, with a focus on Washington state historical and current issues that align to the Washington State Learning Standards for Social Studies. These resources are openly licensed to ensure equitable access and provide educators with the ability to adapt resources to meet student needs.

The inquiries listed below are available as PDFs below.
