I am nowhere near answering my How Might We Question. <\/p>\n

I think I am one of the participants that has kinda fallen into the \u201ccomparing myself to others\u201d camp; thinking my HMW question isn\u2019t as exciting as others; my blog posts haven\u2019t elicited as many comments\/discussions as others; I haven\u2019t done enough achieve my HWM goals. Reading @gnichols<\/a> post<\/a> I couldn\u2019t help but think, ah shoot, I\u2019m kinda doing that. The thing is,
\nin no way has anyone at C21 made me feel this way, in fact, I\u2019ve been guided throughout this entire project very positively<\/strong>. The support and attitudes of all C21 members is incredibly inspiring and encouraging. (specifically @gvogt<\/a>, @tfaucher<\/a>, @sneesham<\/a>, @jmedved<\/a>).<\/p>\n

I need to stop this thinking immediately! My C21 experience has been amazing. It\u2019s encouraged me to pursue an area of development that is completely self-driven and an area that I know needs work at my school. <\/p>\n

I set out to connect with classroom teachers to collaborate on work that would be engaging for students.<\/strong>

\nWhen I first starting chatting with teachers about this initiative, they asked me a lot of questions about what inquiry learning looked like and how it would work. I found that I wasn\u2019t able to answer some of these questions. If I wanted to encourage this type of learning, I needed to learn more about it myself. I read a few blogs of C21 members that pursued inquiry projects in the classroom, I read Dive in Inquiry<\/em> by Trevor Mackenzie (recommended by @pcobban<\/a>) and I reached out to the C21 community for some more guidance<\/a>. I hit some roadblocks that I still have not figured out – what is the Teacher-Librarian role in supporting inquiry-learning and how do I encourage more of this in the classroom, if I myself am not in the classroom?<\/p>\n

Here is a link to my Action Plan slide deck that sums up more of my process as a student vs. my specific learning regarding inquiry. <\/p>\n
