Spiral of Inquiry

Learners, families, and communities are part of the whole process.
It’s about giving students more power to shape their own learning.
Ignoring student input is unhelpful and shows a lack of respect.
Real change starts with being curious and truly listening to learners.
Inquiry works best when teachers and leaders work together.
The approach is based on strong research about how people learn.
The goal is to improve students’ experiences through learning and action.
The spiral of inquiry helps us understand what’s happening before trying to fix it.
