Description

This project is specifically designed for K–2 educators who are eager to integrate inquiry-based learning into their teaching practice. Guided by Kath Murdoch, an internationally recognised consultant renowned for her expertise in inquiry, participants will be supported throughout the journey. The focus of the project is on enhancing pedagogy and empowering children to be capable, curious, and actively engaged learners. Educators will delve into practical strategies and collaboratively design experiences that nurture children’s skills and attitudes for lifelong learning across all areas of the curriculum. The program aims to strengthen students’ abilities as self-managers, collaborators, communicators, researchers, thinkers, and valued contributors within their communities. Each educator will undertake a personalised professional inquiry, seamlessly woven into their everyday classroom teaching, fostering both professional growth and student engagement.

Outcomes

  • Become familiar with a range of inquiry approaches.
  • Investigate ways to implement inquiry approaches effectively within their classrooms.
  • Create a focused inquiry project to implement in their classroom.
