As part of the release of Inquiry Mindset Assessment Edition, I would like to share with you some of the sketchnotes from the book. This one is titled Guiding Questions for Inquiry Teachers. It frames chapter six, Asking the Right Questions, and encompasses eight guiding questions to support inquiry teachers in reflecting on how they can give more agency and ownership to students. The book has over 200 guiding questions throughout the chapters. These guiding questions support both teachers and students in redefining their roles in the classroom. Guiding questions truly are the secret sauce!

From the book: “Learning to plan for and use guiding questions to help create more student agency in the classroom has been a pivotal piece of my inquiry practice. As I plan for inquiry, I include a dedicated space in my unit and lesson planning for the guiding questions I may use when learning occurs. I consider a number of things when planning these guiding questions, including who my learners are, what their strengths and stretches are, and what they are interested in learning.”
