    Exploring the Inquiry Mindset: Cultivating Cultures of Curiosity with Trevor MacKenzie and Jessica Vance

    In-person workshop event

    In this highly engaging two-day event, internationally recognized inquiry experts Trevor MacKenzie and Jessica Vance will challenge your mind to rethink the role of the teacher and the learner in the inquiry classroom. You will participate in activities that can be immediately applied to your practice through practical instructional strategies that engage the questions, wonders and curiosities of learners that align to curricular standards and outcomes. 

    From the start of day one to the conclusion of our final hour with one another MacKenzie and Vance will facilitate sessions that intentionally engage participants in several opportunities to develop questions about their own professional practice, identifying barriers that most commonly get in the way of us all embodying an inquiry mindset. During the two days attendees will be tasked to consider alternatives to our professional approach that are rooted in specific constructivist frameworks, structures, and protocols that seamlessly transfers and supports students, teachers, coaches, coordinators and leaders. Be ready to take critical and creative thinking elements to a new level!
