Six Kinds of Questions to Create a Culture of Inquiry
Harris, Sandra
Principal Leadership, v7 n2 p27-31 Oct 2006
Educators are busier than ever before. What practitioner has time to add "researcher" to his or her job description? Yet the very complexity of education today mandates that educators become researchers. Educators cannot do their jobs properly unless they become researchers who have the goal of fostering a culture of inquiry throughout the entire campus. This article discusses six categories of questions that will help administrators and teachers create a campus where inquiry research is at the core of the education process: (1) Ask questions for discovery; (2) Ask the right questions; (3) Ask self-reflective questions; (4) Ask questions that explore diversity; (5) Ask "why" questions to develop understanding; and (6) Ask "how" questions to determine direction.
