Requires a mindset that encourages questioning of everything. May result in an unintentional limitation of requirements for discovery. Early attention in pre-K through 12 system to teaching about and training for inquiry. This requires a discipline and skill set that is beyond the FCAT-focused processes of today. This will assist in the preparation of the scholars of tomorrow while they are in primary and secondary school.
Discovery is a process that requires integration into the national and international arenas.
Children in pre-K through 12 must be taught basics as well as rudiments of the investigative process. The outward-looking focus of investigators in the SUS must be nurtured. This will be most difficult with the SUS rolled into a BOE primarily focused with pre-K through 12. These cultures are different but related. Coordination is a must, consolidation is not.
