I am so pleased that the conversation about inquiry-based teaching and learning is continuing through this Forum. I enjoyed creating my presentation and sharing the ongoing questions that Darryl and I are pursuing through our weekly conversations. We have so much left to learn and develop to bring inquiry-based learning alive in all of our schools. Darryl set an important context for our work in libraries – the culture of education itself through the entire school. The implementation presentations by Jenny and Joe were phenomenal. Yes, we can do this! And they are proof that we, as educators, can change our whole approach to teaching and make a huge difference in the quality of learning for our students. Their presentations (one with both of them; the other by Jenny alone) were definitely worth getting up at 5 AM (my time).
I am looking forward to our continuing conversation. I have much to learn.
