Recorded Webinar: 2020 Inquiry in Action Forum
To support public health efforts to slow the spread of COVID-19, our Inquiry in Action Forum occurred online on March 26th from 5:30-6:30pm as an inspiring webinar led by teachers and leaders who are shifting the adult learning cultures in their schools and districts. In addition to our webinar, we published the work of all of our presenters in our Teacher Scholar Voices blog.
