Overview

Inquiry in Action is a unique opportunity to grow your understanding of inquiry through observation and reflection. This boutique workshop invites educators to spend time in classrooms, watching skilled inquiry teachers at work in different areas of the curriculum and with different age groups. Our focus is on inquiry as a stance. While there are techniques and emphases particular to learning areas, there are many shared strategies that can be transferred across the day.   

Participants in this workshop will spend time observing ‘learning labs’ followed by opportunities for guided analysis, reflection and transfer of the ideas to their own setting. They will emerge from the experience with a deeper understanding of the way in which they can nurture agency, cultivate curiosity, question for deeper thinking and release more responsibility to young learners.
