There is a tab on this page specific to high school information. Tons of valuable resources!

//“My opinion would be that the most important aspect you can teach them is “information literacy”, or in other words: “How to skillfully use the internet to find useful information you need.” (because really, this is THE fundamental skill. It’s the most important skill you can have to help you learn any/all other things) (//Kim Henderson )

// Motivating students to do their best work is one of the most important things a teacher can model to students. Teachers who can model ambition, initiative, and entrepreneurial thinking will possibly show students an approach to life they may not otherwise consider. Enthusiasm can go beyond classroom instruction and subject matter. Ambition is a way to embrace life and the changes that students will certainly face at some crossroads in their life. // (Kim Henderson )

This is another great site with loads of inquiry information. (Kim Henderson)

//In an ever-changing world, the Big6 is a powerful tool to help prepare our students for survival in the 21st Century workforce. The country has moved from the industrial age to the digital age, and student’s learning experiences should reflect that shift. It is increasingly important for educators to acknowledge the importance of providing students opportunities to develop broader life skills. More and more the emphasis is placed not on what students know, but how they manipulate the wealth of information available to them.//
