Transform your teaching and shape education through the power of inquiry.

Grounded in real-world examples and more than 30 years of research in professional development, the fifth edition of The Reflective Educator's Guide to Practitioner Inquiry addresses how inquiry fosters curiosity, reflection, and practical action to enhance effective classroom learning. This latest edition invites educators to view inquiry as a process, a product, and a stance.

The book offers new sections on the relationship between AI and teacher inquiry and the ways in which inquiry is changing with the times. Additional features and updates include:

  • A new chapter that provides a step-by-step guide to crafting an intentional, actionable research plan
  • Access exercises, inductive and deductive data analysis worksheets, ethical guidelines, and examples addressing today’s issues in education
  • A discussion of the connections between practitioner inquiry and supporting the academic success of every student

The Reflective Educator’s Guide to Practitioner Inquiry, fifth edition, empowers educators at every stage in their careers to investigate their practice, drive sustained professional growth, and harness inquiry’s potential to create classrooms where both students and teachers thrive.
