Details	By reimagining traditional classroom roles, inquiry-based learning brings transformation to school culture and encourages educator self-reflection and teaching with new perspectives. Using inquiry promotes student-driven interests, problem-solving skills, and critical thinking, while enhancing language acquisition and social-emotional cognition. There is no exact checklist of steps to follow and at times it can feel ambiguous, but with reflection and intentional continuous learning, we hope our shared experiences prompt you on growth towards an inquiry mindset.
