  9. “As I grew in my understanding of inquiry, unknowingly I was bringing some of my colleagues along with me. …We were no longer evaluating methods as good or bad but instead we were wondering, tweaking, applying, revising, sharing and wondering some more.”

  10. “Now that I have experienced the power of inquiry in working with my colleagues, I could never go back to my old ways.”

  15. If teachers applied what they had learned in systematic ways then this appeared to be a sufficient threshold to support outcomes for new cohorts of students that were similar to gains in student achievement while participating in the LPDP.

  16. Whereas, when schools engaged in an iterative inquiry, re-focusing on persistent issues of underachievement that still existed, investing in continued knowledge-building and establishing coherence of instructional practices across curriculum areas, they improved on their achievement gains over time.
