Why and how do you share your inquiry?

"Reflection, inquiry, and dialogue are interdependent—no one of them stands alone and together they form the primary dynamic of professional practice.They occur effectively when educators collaborate together."

Linda Lambert, Leadership Capacity for Lasting School Improvement, 2003

You share your inquiry study not only because you are proud of the work you have done, but also because other people will help you to understand your study in new and different ways. When you process your inquiry by summarizing your collections of evidence and weighing your information (as you did in the last step), you can see it only through your eyes. When you process your study with others, they will help you to see it from other points of view.

You'll do two rounds of presentations so you can get feedback from two different groups of people. Don’t be surprised if each group "sees" your study from a different angle.

The activity section provides the structures for your learning community to dialogue about the impact of finishing the inquiry studies and to share the findings of the individual studies.
