Inquiring in the Classroom: Asking the Questions That Matter About Teaching and Learning

Inquiring in the Classroom provides a practical and accessible guide to planning, carrying out and
presenting successful classroom inquiry for teachers working towards a Masters-level qualification in education. The contributors provide a clear and concise roadmap drawing on case studies throughout and bringing educational theory to life by closely linking it to classroom practice. They also provide tried and tested advice on writing and presenting at Masters-level. Topics covered include:
- Teaching, Learning and Assessment
- Subject Knowledge and Curriculum Development
- Children's Development and Behaviour
- Inclusion
- Leadership and Management
- Collaborative Working

Through a clear emphasis on the practical implications of educational inquiry, the book brings together key elements of continuing professional development (CPD) and Masters-level learning. The contributors draw on their experience of teaching and supporting Masters-level inquiry to provide practical suggestions for how teachers can support each other in classroom inquiries and develop the skills necessary to transform practice and raise engagement and attainment for all pupils.
