S3 E3 Read Into Inquiry Mindset & Assessment with Trevor Mackenzie

Trevor Mackenzie returns to Read Into This to chat more about #InquiryMindset and his book Inquiry Mindset: Assessment Edition, Scaffolding a Partnership for Equity and Agency in Learning with host Beth Lyons. The conversation starts by looking at their previous conversation at the start of the pandemic and their observations about the learning that has happened due to crisis education. Trevor explores what prompted the journey from Inquiry Mindset (and Dive Into Inquiry) to this assessment edition and his ongoing learning connected to inquiry based learning and teaching. Beth shares her thoughts on the younger year’s companion resource, written by Rebecca Bathurst-Hunt, especially as it relates to Chapter 3- Co-Design and Co-Construct and asks Trevor about the biggest stumbling block for educators when they start the process of nurturing assessment ownership, especially with younger students. The conversation also explores the idea of soft starts, self-regulation, co-regulation and a culture of performance compared with routines that support a feedback based community of learners. Lastly, the discussion turns to books and other learning texts that Trevor and Beth have been reading lately and using for their own learning.
