Utilise Strategies for Project Completion – Create a clear plan, set milestones, and identify effective assessment methods to ensure project success. Build a Strong Support Network – Identify and engage collaborators within and beyond the school community to strengthen inquiry-based learning initiatives. Three Key Takeaways Librarians as Inquiry Leaders – School librarians play a vital role in shaping inquiry-based learning by modelling best practices, collaborating with teachers, and supporting students. Collaboration is Essential – Successful inquiry projects thrive on strong partnerships with educators, administrators, and external experts. Building a support network enhances project sustainability. Sustainable Inquiry Takes Time – Transformational change in education is gradual. Starting with one well-designed project can create momentum for a lasting culture of inquiry. This session will be held at 9.30 am and 6.30 pm on 17th June BST and will be 1hr 30mins long.
