Hello everyone,
I am fairly new to the forum, but I thought it would be a great place to reach out to fellow educators I am currently enrolled in a Masters of Education program through a Canadian university and my current course is all about Collaborative Inquiry (CI). I have been learning about and experiencing CI for the first time. I was introduced to a CI framework called "Collaborative Inquiry: A Facilitator's Guide", which was published by Learning Forward Ontario. The framework suggests that when implementing CI, educators should engage in the following four steps.
- Frame the Problem (What do you want your CI to focus on)
- Collect Evidence (what, where and how to collect data)
- Analyze Data (identify patterns and make conclusions)
- Celebrate and Share (Share new understandings)
I was wondering if any of you have experience using this framework to guide you through CI. Did it work well? What difficulties did you face? Or, have you used a different framework in your workplace? I am interested in learning more about what CI looks like in practice. Any feedback or suggestions you have would be extremely valuable.
Thank you!
Crystal C.
