eMINTS believes that the best teaching and learning take place in classrooms where teachers have the opportunity to create the kinds of lessons that deeply engage students in meaningful content and meaningful inquiry.
Inquiry-based Learning
One foundational piece of the eMINTS instructional model is using inquiry, constructivist approaches, using ways that cause students to ask and think about very deep questions.

eMINTS integrates technology with inquiry-based learning and high-quality lessons to bring about true learning. Technology adds excitement and motivation for students and teachers to use web and web 2.0 tools to bring learning into the classroom and help expand learning beyond the classroom walls.
Classroom Community
Fundamental to eMINTS practice is the community of learners, not only within the classroom, but also among teachers and among trainers, as well as showing students how continuous life-long learning takes place in a community. eMINTS helps teachers and other participants learn the importance of building a community of learners where learners share, take risks, respect and push each other as they find their own best ways to learn and engage in deep content with one another.
