In the inquiry classroom, we aim to nurture learners who see themselves as capable, curious, resourceful individuals with a strong sense of agency. There is growing evidence of the importance of nurturing the kinds of dispositions and skills that competent, capable learners can apply across the curriculum and throughout their lives. Being curious, creative, courageous and critical, combined with the skills of self-management, collaboration, thinking and communication, are amongst what we can think of as ‘assets’ for learning.
