| How do we recognize, model, and support inquiry schoolwide? Inquiry-based classrooms require teachers to step back and engage students in active and deep questioning. The same can be said for leaders promoting inquiry schoolwide. What does schoolwide inquiry look like? What methods and routines can we share - and model - with teachers to get there? What does it mean to step back and allow teachers to ask questions and pursue their own inquiries? What might we give up and get back in return? Join your colleagues from around the world for this exciting four-week series where you will learn practical tools to embed and promote inquiry schoolwide. Participants will leave with a toolkit of transferrable inquiry-based experiences from:Inquiry Partners, Teach Different, Liberating Structures and Appreciative Inquiry – as well as their own copy of Experience Inquiry. |
