Welcome to the final part of the ‘Strengthening your Teaching Practice through Practitioner Inquiry’ Webinar Series! Part 4 is ‘Practitioner Inquiry as a Tool to Redesign Classroom Instruction with Early Career Mathematics and Science Teachers’, by Dr. Ayanna Perry.

In this webinar, we describe how collaborative practitioner inquiry can be used to redesign classroom instruction. This webinar starts by discussing the seven principles of collaborative practitioner inquiry. Next we share the collaborative inquiry cycle used across the early years of the Fellowship. Then, we share how our structure supports sustainably studying one’s practice and the outcomes of this work within our community. Finally, we invite you to think about ways you might incorporate this into your practice.
