Denton Inquiry 4 Lifelong Learning (DI4LL) is a collaborative project of the Denton Independent School District, Denton Public Library, Texas Woman's University, and University of North Texas
The collaborators on this project have a shared investment in lifelong learning in our community. Working together, we will focus our efforts on positively impacting the literacy of pre-kindergarten through graduate school learners by strengthening their opportunities for practicing the skills and strategies required to become effective users of ideas and information, producers of knowledge, and participants in the civic, social, and political spheres of our community, the nation, and the world.
Prior to the grant, the project focused on a book study on guided inquiry:
