Inquiry is the antidote to apathy and passive compliance.

All schools say they’re creating lifelong learners. 

Teaching children to be inquirers is empowering them to be lifelong learners who understand their own agency. 

Inquiry nurtures curiosity and gives children the tools and dispositions to actively work on solving interesting and meaningful problems and questions they encounter. Real life long learning. 

Educators must also inquire to consider how best to meet the complex needs of their students.

How does inquiry exist in your practice?

We think about how we do education. 

There are lots of ways to teach and learn. Lots of ways school can look. Lots of evidence to consider. And there are children in front of us that show up in lots of different ways. 

Teachers must be actively reflective and discerning thinkers in this noisy climate - intentionally interrogating our theories and practices and those of the systems around us. 

For all the pedagogical moves we make, we have to think, examine, refine, reflect, and change in accordance with our educational values and the children in front of us. Then, think again. 

What is making you think again?
