Reply To: Portraits of an Engaged and Empowered Inquirer
As I wrote in The School Librarian, Volume 70, Number 3, Autumn 2022 (see here), inquiry, and in our case FOSIL-based inquiry, has the Portrait of an Engaged and Empowered Inquirer at Twelfth Grade (Year 13) as its end (see Figure 1 below) and is the systematic and progressive means to this end (see Figures 2, 3 and 4 below).
The Portraits were developed by Barbara Stripling and Digital Lead Librarians in New York City, and are a profound statement on the educational process from the perspective of a school library integral to that process.
