Inquiries do not exist as a set of wondrous learning experiences in prettily constructed environments (although both of these will increase the children's and the educators' engagement(. Children need specific skills, words, concepts, social skills, time and support to make their learning meaningful.

Inquiry-led learning can stall for many reasons: heavy curriculum requirements, hard to negotiate pathways and shifting landscapes are just some of these, We can use different lenses to maintain our curiosity, to notice and wonder about children's learning so we can sustain, strengthen and deepen inquiries.

So, you have a starting point for an inquiry. You have a topic and purpose that are significant to the children. Where might this inquiry go? Which inquiry process will work best?

Inquiries can begin in many places. But inquiry-led learning depends on educators own CURIOSITY, their ability to manage UNCERTAINTY and to be open to POSSIBILITY. Here are some ideas for getting started with inquiry-led learning.

Inquiry-led learning is supported by evidence: managing cognitive load, promoting student and educator wellbeing, supporting play, developing entrepreneurship skills and developing empathy. Call 0409034692 to learn more about inquiry-led learning.
