Using Inquiry in the classroom to help boost teacher confidence
Trevor Mackenzie’s Books on Inquiry in the Classroom
Trevor Mackenzie is a leader when it comes to using Inquiry-based learning in the classroom. His books have strategies and lessons that can be applied to any classroom setting. An area of research for my project is to create confidence in teachers to implement Indigenous ways of knowing and learning. Several peers commented at the beginning of this course that they don’t feel confident teaching Indigenous material. I believe that Mackenzie’s approach to teaching through inquiry will help teachers feel like they are on the learning journey with their students and not feel the pressure to know everything beforehand.
Hi Sarah, This looks like a great resource and I will have to check it out further. Inquiry based learning blends in well with the focus of my project. I like how you indicated that, “his books have strategies and lessons that can be applied to any classroom setting,” with the added bonus of helping teachers feel more confident in teaching Indigeous content.
