Their infectious energy ignites a passion for learning in their students, colleagues, and leaders. Inquiry teachers are not merely cheerleaders of content; rather, their genuine love for learning and the understanding they foster in their practice have an immensely positive impact on their classroom.

Inquiry teachers know their students’ stories, passions, interests, and goals, and they use this knowledge to empower learners. They help their students understand learning and identify their own learning needs. Inquiry teachers ask students questions about themselves so the teacher and the student can learn more about the whole child. Inquiry teachers construct learning moments calling for reflection and sharing of self.
