| Session 1: Professional Inquiry - Building Adult Curiosity to Change the Experiences of Young People | |||||||||
| This session focuses on adult professional learning and is based on the understanding that for young people to be curious, they need to be surrounded by adults who are curious. The Spiral of Inquiry is a framework rooted in moral purpose, grounded in practice and research, and designed to build adult curiosity through deep listening to learners. Engaging in the Spiral as a team involves challenging often long-held beliefs and assumptions. It requires educators to engage in professional inquiry with an open mind and a growth mindset. In this session, participants will be introduced to the foundational ideas and to the six stages of the Spiral. With illustrations from schools in diverse settings, our intention is to make the connection between adult curiosity and changed outcomes for learners. | |||||||||
| Session 2: Working Together - Building Powerful Inquiry Networks | |||||||||
| For over two decades Judy Halbert and Linda Kaser have been supporting networks of schools committed to equity and quality through professional inquiry. Over this time we have seen networks in a range of jurisdictions start with great intentions only to fade away after a few years. The work of creating cultures of curiosity for learners across our schools and systems is too difficult for one teacher of one school to do it on their own. We need to work as teams within and across schools. In this session, we will invite participants to reflect on their own experiences as we share what we have learned about creating networks that last - and that lead to real changes for learners. | |||||||||
