Read all about inquiry through the lens of one of the world's leading experts in the area.
The focus of my graduate studies (with the support of the AMAZING Dr. Valerie Irvine) was to identify and help remove barriers to implementing inquiry-based learning.
One of the barriers that the research has identified is the confusion and misconceptions surrounding inquiry. Picture this: two educators l, who are both “inquiry practitioners”, are talking over dinner about “inquiry” and have two completely different definitions and understandings of inquiry.
#InquirybytheFire is coming back with two special offerings! Kimberly Mitchell, Kath Murdoch and myself wanted to provide you with some choice to suit your learning, just as we would with our learners. We wanted to provide some space by the fire to allow you to take ownership over how you’d like to be involved.
TIES 2020 keynote features are myself along with an amazing series of experts in education including Jo Boaler, Kath Murdoch, Kevin Bartlett, Rosan Bosch, Sugata Mitra, and Vishen Lakhiani. We will all be sharing our passions in this one of a kind offering! TIES is coming to your laptops on 16th and 17th May.
One of the questions that arose during the first #InquirybytheFire webinar conversation was about how, in a remote learning context, we can continue to assess students’ learning. In this part of the discussion, we talked about the importance of connecting with individual learners through 1-1 check ins.

Hello friends!
I am thrilled to share that Kath Murdoch, Kimberly Mitchell and I have launched Inquiry by the Fire.
Inquiry by the Fire is our collaborative commitment to the inquiry community. The fire is our gathering place, an invitation to calm collaboration, stillness, and the impact of settling into a conversation. It will be our home for future collaborations beginning with our Inquiry by the Fire free webinar. Please visit the site, peruse the scenery, and register for the conversation. It would be great to have you there!
