WHAT THE AUTHORS ARE SAYING…

I am incredibly proud of how this book helps teachers foster an inquiry mindset at a young age in their students to better prepare them for the world of tomorrow.”

”My favourite chapter is the preface where I share how my son Ewan has made me both a better teacher and person.
— TREVOR MACKENZIE - Co-Author, Victoria, CDA
I am so proud of the empowerment I witness when educators read and reflect on Inquiry Mindset. Their enthusiasm for rolling out Inquiry with their learners demonstrates that they are developing their own Inquiry Mindset.

My favourite chapter is Chapter 7 where we give loads of practical and impactful strategies of how to create the conditions for our learners to share their curiosities and ask questions.

- MATT MILLER - Ditch That Textbook

Five Stars……Inquiry Mindset validates who I am as a teacher, and illustrates the way for me to become the teacher I really want to be. This book has it all...the what, why, and how to bring the inquiry model of teaching into your classroom. The authors invite you to examine your own practices, provide concrete solutions to elevate your craft, and even share practical ways to bring curiosity and wonder into your students' lives!

- LISA HIGHFILL - The HyperDoc Handbook

Five Stars……“What a gift Trevor Mackenzie and Rebecca Bathurst-Hunt bring with their new book, Inquiry Mindset! This comprehensive guide supports teachers at every level, from understanding the research and theoretical base for inquiry, to managing the smallest details, including classroom setup, developing “ungoogleable” research questions, and leading kids through a gradual-release model of authentic investigations. With students, the authors like to offer what they call provocations, meaning an experience designed to “stir thought, wonder, engagement, curiosity, and questions with our learners.” Read Inquiry Mindset, you will be delightfully provoked.”
