Professional Growth Plan
Fostering a Culture of Curiosity and Inquiry
A culture of inquiry is curious, transparent, and active. It encourages all members of a community to ask questions, develop plans, and to link inquiry with better life chances for the students we serve. A culture of curiosity and inquiry is lived both through the daily practices of individual persons and through the systems that support shared and collaborative systemic inquiry. Healthy cultures are leadership in action.
