This resource will support and challenge you to become confident in leading an enquiry in your context and to develop against your professional standards.

You can engage with this learning flexibly through recorded workshop materials and a downloadable facilitation resource. These provide opportunities to build your understanding of practitioner enquiry, explore key concepts and approaches, and reflect on your own context and areas of focus.

The materials are designed to support individual or collaborative professional learning, enabling you to work at your own pace and providing a solid foundation before moving on to the planning, conducting and reviewing sections of the Enquiry in Education professional learning resource.
