For the past two weeks, we have had guest speakers who work directly with the inquiry approach in school settings, with one of those working in an online format. It has been refreshing to listen to the ongoing experiences of these teachers who are employing the inquiry approach in education – and having success. Along with my talk with @trev_mackenzie, these educators have provided me with enough evidence to discuss with my practicum mentor teacher the prospect of doing a guided inquiry project during my upcoming six-week practicum.

And these little wood pieces I prepared for my outdoor green space lesson for EPHE 312 has given me an idea for a potential guided inquiry project, subject to the needs and expectations of the mentor teacher of course.

My first meeting with my mentor teacher is this coming Friday, and I will state my case for doing an inquiry project and see what happens. Fingers crossed!
