Who should attend?
These workshops are aimed at teachers and education professionals.
Workshop 1 targets those with limited or no practitioner enquiry experience, introducing a model of enquiry starting with practice.
Workshop 2 is for leaders running or intending to run an enquiry approach in their setting exploring characteristics of enquiry leadership and potential connections.
Benefits of attending
Workshops can be taken as standalone sessions or in combination. We aim to introduce a model of practitioner enquiry for professional learning which emphasises student outcomes and can be incorporated into practice. Underpinning both sessions is an emphasis on usefulness of the process and outcomes for all participants.
