The Texas school remains a pervasive and productive force. What is surprising is that Moore's teaching methods have not been more widely studied and used. This may be changing with increased emphasis on student discovery methods. People outside the Moore tradition are beginning to experiment with what the method can do today. Graduate school provides models for modified Moore-method teaching that we can all recognize.
Students learn to crawl, then walk, then run.
Most classes contain some discovery elements, be they challenge problems or projects for individuals or groups. There are many possibilities for inquiry-based learning. The goal is to enable your students to learn more by discovering more for themselves. Michael Martin of Denver University commented that the inquiry-based courses described here provide good background for undergraduate seminars or journal study programs. John Neuberger of the University of North Texas teaches an analysis course today whose content and teaching style follow lines completely familiar to Moore.
