The Spiral of Inquiry is where you develop your own plan to improve student outcomes.
The spiral of inquiry... asks you to adopt a curiosity mindset to identify what is going on for learners and to develop some hunches about what is leading to the current situation, before deciding what to do about it. In this way you can work out what is working well so you can build on it, and what is not working so well so you can make changes.
