What you are going to learn
Supporting teacher inquiry
It is the expectation of the Ministry of Education, the Teaching Council, ERO and of the profession itself that teachers are committed to ongoing learning and professional growth. Ongoing professional growth at the individual teacher level is inextricably linked to continuous improvement at the service level.
Inquiring into teaching practice provides an opportunity to focus on identifying successful approaches that improve learning outcomes for children.
This programme will explore what inquiry means in the context of the ECE setting, how it can be encouraged, enacted, and supported.
- Inquiry as stance: The content of this module draws on the work of Marilyn Cochran-Smith, an academic and author. Inquiry as stance is a way of being, that that is based on the idea of challenging assumptions about practice to transform education and outcomes for learners. A core part of the theory is that teachers (practitioners) are the ones that have the knowledge and expertise to achieve change. Through interrogating their own and other’s practice, asking questions, critiquing, and generating theories. We will be exploring strategies and habits such as curiosity, wondering and having a growth mindset that support this stance.
