Library Grants NETS-S TASKs on GADOE GID – Guided Inquiry Design The icons represent the nuances of each phase. Open represented as an open circle. In GId we open to a concept to start with wonder and curiosity. Immerse looks like ripples in a pool of water. Time spent in this phase ripples into the success of later phases of inquiry. Explore is an explosion. Identify is the turning point of the inquiry signified by the bending arrow into a dot. Gather is when students are out and back. Create is the shape of a hexagon with many shades which indicates a reforming of understanding as students create new meaning through the information they have found. Share is a talk bubble as students share their learning with their inquiry community and the wider world. Evaluate is a think bubble because students not only reflect all the way through the GId process, but taking time to reflect at the end helps them become more aware of how they learned, an important skill for today’s learners.

This self-confidence, sometimes mistaken for simple arrogance by the less decisive, is actually of a very specific rather than a general nature; its source lies in the specialized knowledge systems that most INTJs start building at an early age. When it comes to their own areas of expertise -- and INTJs can have several -- they will be able to tell you almost immediately whether or not they can help you, and if so, how. INTJs are perfectionists, with a seemingly endless capacity for improving upon anything that takes their interest. INTJs are known as the "Systems Builders" of the types, perhaps in part because they possess the unusual trait combination of imagination and reliability.
