Co-Teacher Function

Your classroom, your collaborators

Multiple teachers can now work together in a single class, with roles and permissions that match how your district manages rostering. Co-teachers, interventionists, and long-term subs each get their own access with no shared logins.

Inquiry Hub Updates

A hub that works hard for you

The Inquiry Hub has been updated with clearer organization, improved navigation, and new resources designed for how you actually use it. Whether you're planning a unit, preparing for a team meeting, or supporting a new teacher, what you need is easier to find.

The Inquiry Hub now includes a video library with classroom footage, protocol walkthroughs, and real examples of structured inquiry across grade levels. Share something at a team meeting, walk a new teacher through a discussion protocol, or see how other classrooms handle a specific moment.

Integrations

Less setup and more teaching

Automated rostering with Clever and ClassLink keeps teachers, students, and classes in sync with no manual setup required. LTI 1.3 integrations with Canvas and Schoology let teachers launch assignments directly from their LMS.

Students practiced financial literacy skills by recognizing that saving helps people meet their needs and wants over time. The lesson also encouraged personal reflection and goal-setting, helping students connect the economic concept of saving to their own lives.

This is my third year using InquirEd and it always amazes me just how much 9 and 10 year olds already know about economics. For example, they might not call their economic choices "opportunity cost," but they are well aware that by making a choice, they are giving up something else.

In this activity, students completed the Changemakers Footsteps handout as part of the 3rd-grade 20th-century Civil Rights Movement unit. The students have been highly engaged and have had thoughtful discussions throughout the lessons. They are beginning to make connections between key events and recognize the patterns of unfairness that people faced during this time. It’s been inspiring to see their empathy and understanding grow as they explore how individuals worked together to create change.
