OVERVIEW
How do we demonstrate an inquiry disposition in a leadership role? What does it mean to step back and allow teachers to take more control? How do we respond to their questions? What might we give up and get back in return? At what point do we ‘draw the line’? This workshop will explore these questions and offer school leaders practical tools from Liberating Structures and Experience Inquiry to develop and nurture a culture of inquiry.
