Linda Kaser: Phases of the spiral of inquiry

Linda Kaser is one of the people who developed the spiral of inquiry, learning and action. In this video she briefly outlines how the phases of the spiral are used in the networks of inquiry and innovation in British Columbia.

Scanning

    “What’s going on for our learners?” is the inquiry question for the scanning phase. 

The important principles in scanning are involving learners, being driven by curiosity and ensuring you cover cognitive, cultural and social-emotional domains.

Leaders, teachers and learners engage in scanning in different ways. There are no set rules. It depends on what you want to find out.

This phase of the spiral is referred to as Analyse what’s going on for your learners in the Report of the Professional Learning and Development Advisory Group (2014).

Stories from the field

These stories are about how people are working with the spiral of inquiry, learning and action. They are about things that worked and things that didn't work completely the first time. They were all made possible through a sustained focus on a culture of professional learning and inquiry.

Leadership and the spiral of inquiry

The spiral of inquiry, learning and action is about learning through doing the work, rather than learning about the leadership of learning outside of our own contexts.
