Working with Spirals

Spiral of Inquiry Resources

These resources are all designed to help learning teams begin to better understand Spirals of Inquiry ​as a framework for developing innovative learning environments. The framework is credited to Dr.'s Judy Halbert and Linda Kaser who believe, "the more intentional you are about using the spiral of inquiry to change outcomes for learners in your setting, the more coherent and innovative the whole system will become".
The Spiral Handbook,  Halbert & Kaser, p. 17

From the grass roots which outline the attributes of a citizen, to the three main pillars of education and into the branches of SD # 73's strategic plan, this visual explains how a school's learning cycle flows through a spiral of inquiry. The fruit it bears is the work the learning communities are doing. That too is done through a Spiral of Inquiry.
