In writing Inquiry Mindset Assessment Edition I was highly cognizant of all levels of our schools. From primary to elementary to middle to high school, and even at the post secondary level: I wanted all teachers to see themselves in this book. In order to really drive this sentiment home I called on amazing kindergarten teacher and good inquiry friend Rebecca Bathurst-Hunt to collaborate on a special resource just for educators at the younger years.

I focused my time with the audience on unpacking the guiding question: how do we support teachers in giving more agency over learning to students? My goal was to unpack ways in which they could bring inquiry back to the schools that they represent. In order to implement inquiry practices, beliefs, and values, we must ensure that teachers are willing to give agency over learning to their students.
