What is Inquiry?

As we write into the day, let's consider what it means to "do inquiry" or to teach from an "inquiry-based" approach?

What, specifically, is "inquiry?"
What are the benefits of teaching from an inquiry-driven perspective? What are the challenges?
What questions might you have for our facilitators about using inquiry in your own teaching?
