Welcome to Inquiry in Practice.
Designed for primary teachers seeking structured approaches to inquiry and discussion.
Thoughtfully designed systems and tools to support inquiry-driven primary classrooms. Each resource is created to strengthen student voice, structured discussion, collaboration, and reflective thinking in Grades 2–4.
Grounded in inquiry principles and adaptable for IB PYP and beyond, these materials help teachers build confident communicators and independent learners through clear routines and practical classroom frameworks.
Teaching style
At Inquiry in Practice, teaching is grounded in the belief that children are capable thinkers.
My approach centres on student voice, meaningful discussion, and inquiry-driven learning. Rather than relying on scripted lessons or surface-level comprehension tasks, I design frameworks that help students build ideas together, ask authentic questions, and think deeply about texts and concepts.
I value:
• Student-led discussion
• Collaboration and shared decision-making
• Reflective classroom routines
• Flexible frameworks that grow with learners
• Learning experiences rooted in curiosity and purpose
The goal is not simply to complete tasks — it is to create classrooms where students listen carefully, speak thoughtfully, and learn from one another.
Resources are designed to support IB PYP and inquiry-centered classrooms, while remaining adaptable to a wide range of teaching contexts.
