__**Reflections On The Day:**__

-Many teachers are already applying inquiry strategies. There is a need to collaborate and support each other locally to enhance success.

-Local structures are in place to support the infusion of inquiry: PLCs, Early Dismissal Presentations, ICT Committees

-Concepts like engagement are easy to see, but difficult to describe. It is empowering to see students curiosity...these instances are often found in hands-on learning experiences. Things like engagement are also difficult to measure; this can be seen as a good thing or a bad thing...perhaps without a definition or measure, we can create it ourselves.

-It is important to look holistically at the work that we are doing. These documents and concepts have to become 'living documents' to have purpose and effect within the division. Evergreen has committed to focusing on Dr. Sharon Friesen's 'Effective Teaching Framework', which is focused on pedagogy and aligns with the concepts of student engagement and inquiry and/or project-based learning.
