Argument-Driven Inquiry

We provide programs for science, mathematics, and engineering. At the core of each investigation or design challenge, students are given opportunities to learn and use core ideas. In each investigation and design challenge, students use their knowledge of STEM disciplines to figure out how or why something happens or develop a solution to a problem. Our materials give students authentic and meaningful context to develop disciplinary-based literacy skills by reading to obtain and evaluate information, talking to communicate, critique, refine ideas, and writing to share what they figured out.

The Argument-Driven Inquiry instructional model is used to create all our materials. The model was developed from classroom-based research and tested and refined based on feedback from teachers.

What makes Argument-Driven Inquiry so great?

High-Quality Instructional Materials

We create all our materials using the Argument-Driven Inquiry instructional model. This instructional model was designed and tested through classroom-based research and then refined over time based on feedback from teachers and students.

Professional Learning Experiences

Teachers participate in the same rich, inquiry-based investigations that we want students to experience. We then encourage them to rethink what’s possible and work together to develop a plan for creating rigorous and equitable learning experiences.

The Argument-Driven Inquiry Learning Hub

The Learning Hub is a browser application built for teachers and students. Teachers can assign investigations to a class. Students then collaborate with other students and complete an investigation in remote, hybrid, or in-person contexts.
