Description

Utilization of the inquiry model (ask, investigate, create, discuss, and reflect) with teachers provides opportunities for positive change in schools.  In comparison to traditional professional learning, the inquiry model establishes teachers in an active role in designing and experiencing learning.  Teachers work in collaboration with peers, exploring and reflecting on new knowledge and making a commitment to a change in practice.
