On inquiry-based learning and developing critical thinking skills - Teach NSW Podcast S1 E21

This week, we are joined by Alice Vigors, a relieving principal in a NSW public school with 15 years of experience in education. On the couch, Alice shares her professional journey into leadership roles with the NSW Department of Education and how she has pursued other passion projects including @thinkingpathways. In this episode we dive into the power of inquiry-based learning by exploring how it can foster creativity, critical thinking and collaboration in the classroom. Alice gives practical advice on how she implements this approach to challenge student learning, encourage questions and develop problem-solving skills. Get ready to bolster your teacher toolkit as we explore ‘See, Think, Wonder’, an inquiry-based thinking routine which can help inspire curiosity and deepen students’ understanding of the content they are learning. But what impact can it have? Alice reminisces on the rewarding outcomes that she has witnessed in students who can question content and engage in higher-level thinking in real-world situations. It is through her work as a teacher and leader in a NSW public school and with @thinkingpathways that Alice hopes to inspire other educators to embrace the same practices that have shaped her teaching career. Other topics we cover that you don’t want to miss – teaching in regional/rural NSW as well as advice for beginning teachers on professional learning and progressing into leadership roles. We hope you enjoy this episode. We acknowledge that this episode of the Teach NSW Podcast was recorded on the homelands of the Darug people.
