Using inquiry and evidence to improve ISTE practice

As leaders of professional learning, ISTEs need to develop an inquiry habit of mind and to model inquiry and evidence-based practice in their work, as discussed in this chapter. In seeking to reflect upon and improve their practice, they should gain a range of perspectives by working within cultures of inquiry, seeking support and challenge from trusted colleagues, interrogating a range of data selected to address specific problems of practice, and drawing on external research. Collaborative inquiry groups can be seen as the “building blocks” of a culture of inquiry.
