Zusammenfassung: | PurposeIn the Fall of 2020, three teacher educators in Ohio collaborated on a three-month long online professional development series on how to write Focused Inquiries, a la the Inquiry Design Model (IDM).Design/methodology/approachThe authors detail the contents of the six group professional development (PD) sessions and share the lessons that the authors learned as a result of leading this training.FindingsGiven this study’s mixed results, the authors often came back to the questions of “maybe it was us? Maybe it was the pandemic? Maybe there wasn’t enough training? Or maybe IDM creation isn’t a skill that all teachers possess and maybe that’s ok?” The authors share the struggles with these questions and situate all of this within the current culture wars raging around schools today.Originality/valueFinally, the authors offer the current approach to inquiry training for teachers that situates inquiry creation later in the process after significant structured introductory work. |
