Mission
Founded by Rebecca Renard, Inquiring Minds Consulting works to empower young people to think, create, and engage. It does this by working closely with the organizations and people who deliver programs and services to youth. Transformative youth programs require clear vision, strategic planning, cross-collaboration, strong staff preparation, and tight curriculum. Inquiring Minds Consulting provides a comprehensive range of consulting services, designed to address all of these needs.
Pedagogy
Inquiring Minds Consulting’s services are informed by inquiry-based instructional design, 21st century learning models, arts education best practices, and positive youth development principles. In this way, young people develop strong critical thinking abilities, increase their literacy skills, become able to creatively articulate their thoughts and ideas, and actively engage with their communities.
Whether it’s creating new curriculum and programming content, leading professional development sessions, identifying community partners, modeling effective strategies for engaging youth, or working directly with youth, Inquiring Minds Consulting delivers.
