Teacher inquiry allows educators to develop a reflective approach in which students get a chance to connect their learnings to personal meaning. Once they find that personal connection, it becomes easier for them to understand and reflect upon complex topics and develop a sense of purpose (p.40)

Teacher inquiry begins with curiosity, and takes learners on a journey of knowledge. Inquiry helps to foster and encourage critical thinking, which in turn helps create understanding. My understanding of the inquiry process is that it is not a linear process, but rather, moving and evolving.

A quote that stood out for me in the article was " Inquiry is not a single ‘method’ or a program. Inquiry is really a ‘way of being’ as a teacher - it is about how you think about learning and the relationship between teaching and learning." I like how it always goes back to relationships.

Is it important to compare the Westernized Ways of Knowing and the Indigenized Ways of Knowing in your Teaching Philosophy?  Like constructivist in Western and Indigenous pedagogy ...

Questioning things that matter or ignite curiousity. What do you do with the information? Why does it matter? Who benefits? Who is harmed? How do you create balance? What do you do with this knowledge? What is happening? What else could be happening? And What else could be happening? How do you evaluate the learning process in a validating way while still meeting the criteria for academia?

Can help inform the teacher, pre lesson. I appreciate when and how the teacher guides the lesson, and has a broad base of knowledge to use in the class. It is the problem solving ahead of time- with inquiry usually being first, and research usually being the second phase. Inquiry is using brainstorming, experimental learning experiences and observations to shape and guide what we get to know.

Teachers engage in inquiry, reflect, and take action. Then, repeat the cycle. It is less about arriving at a state of knowledge and more about recognizing that knowledge is ever-changing. Knowledge is process-oriented rather than product-oriented. "Knowing" implies an ongoing, evolutive process whereas "knowledge" suggests a fixed or constant state.

My understanding of the inquiry process is it can be a hybrid of open and guided. A mix of giving students the autonomy to question as well as explicitly teach skills when it's appropriate. Sometimes students need to be taught how to critically think because they never experienced autonomy in their schooling.

I think the distinction between teacher inquiry and teacher research is that inquiry is an on-going process of growth and change, whereas research has an end in site. Not to say we are not continuously researching because new information is always coming about. But inquiry is a cycle of reflection and then action, research is not necessarily action?

Teacher inquiry is an ongoing process that requires curiosity and humility. It allows you to continuously check on what is going well and what is not going well in your teaching practices. It also results in you modelling a curiosity mindset and a growth mindset with your students. It doesn't have an endpoint but rather is a continuous transformative process for both teachers and students.
