My Teacher Inquiry Question - Term 2 2019
What strategies can I use to help students reflect effectively and successfully in their learning to increase their learner agency?
Reflection could be the key to students understanding where they are in their learning.
What did you find challenging in your learning? What did you do well?

Thinking and learning around teacher inquiry.
"Inquiry is the state of identifying student learning problems, hypothesising on causes, investigating and testing causal links, and acting on the findings to improve outcomes."

A well designed teacher inquiry can help answer a question that we often dread but sometimes have to ask: "Why isn’t this working?"
When it becomes obvious, through observation, assessment data, or a hunch, that what we are already doing does not equal progress for our learners, we need to ask ourselves three reflective questions:
- Why? Why, if we are using sound pedagogical practice, are some of our students still floundering?
- What? What impact is what we’re doing (or not doing) having on the students in our classrooms?
- How? How can we change what we do in ways that truly support learning outcomes?
