Grow a love of and passion for Inquiry

Move beyond teacher inquiry as simply a box to tick

I will help you to review your existing inquiry systems and processes to make them more interesting, fun and relevant to use for teachers in any setting and any sector, anywhere.

Workshops your employees will love to be part of

I can support your school to implement and embed improved approaches to teacher inquiry, strengthen your conceptual and theoretical knowledge of teams, and build a genuine professional learning culture that your people continue to embrace.

Through not-your-typical-boring seminars, workshops and long-term learning support, I facilitate conversations with depth while providing a strongly evidence-based approach to teaching and change.

Embed and sustain a culture of professional learning

I love supporting more meaningful pedagogical reflection, and growing coaching cultures through Spiral of Inquiry learning support. I am the Network Leader for the Spiral of Inquiry in Aotearoa and I work alongside the co-creators of the Spiral of Inquiry, Drs Judy Halbert and Linda Kaser. I have a decade of experience supporting Spiral of Inquiry implementation in Aotearoa and around the world.

 

Why Spiral of Inquiry can be so powerful for you and your school

I believe the spiral of inquiry process is one of the best ways for educators to grow their pedagogical practice and identify areas for improvement.

Identify where your teaching practice needs to grow or adapt, then connect with the right resources and professional development aligned with these areas.

Ask questions such as whether tamariki can name two people in the school who believe in them.

Stay connected with international best-practice which prioritise indigenous knowledge and worldviews.

Empower ownership of the direction and vision so all staff, including teacher aides, are part of the process.

Tailor your professional development to exactly what your school needs before the year begins, providing a platform and framework to head into the year.

Create safety for honest feedback and profound reflection. When areas for improvement are named and acknowledged, the real growth can happen.
