One of the speakers at the 2024 Inquiry Educators Summit 2024 was Trevor MacKenzie, teacher, Education Consultant, speaker and author.
Trevor focused on how we as educators plan for curiosity. How we get children to ask questions and how we use our students’ questions as formative evidence to plan the next steps in our students’ learning.
It all starts with knowing our curriculum and then using our provocations to ignite curiosity and questions from students.
Trevor gave some examples of actionable questioning routines and how we use them to stay true to our values as inquiry educators.
In this episode I share some of the learning I took away from Trevor’s session, and also some of the episodes and blog posts that reiterate Trevor’s sentiments about inquiry in practise.
