This 15 minute film offers an introduction to the iterative steps that underlie effective Faculty Inquiry.  The film lays out four steps: 

1. What Do We See? 
2. How Can We See It Better? 
3. How Can We Share It With Others? 
4. Now That We See It, What Can We Do About It? 

INQUIRING MINDS is designed as a resource for those who are engaged in Faculty Inquiry, and for those who would like to gain a better understanding of its promise.

 

 

The creation of INQUIRING MINDS was generously supported by:
SPECC (Strengthening Pre-collegiate Education in Community Colleges), a joint project of the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching, and the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation
