About this workshops:
In this practical workshop, Kath will work with teachers to develop their understanding of what it means to be ‘an inquiry teacher’. Teaching with an inquiry mindset changes the way we see our role and the way we see students. Regardless of the ‘subject area’ we may be working in or even the age group of students we may be working with- there are some powerful techniques at our disposal that help our students become the independent, curious, courageous inquirers we hope them to be.
