Beyond the Symposium: The Future of School Libraries and Inquiry Learning


Listen Later

In this episode of FOSIL Education and School Libraries, we reflect on the key ideas and developments following the recent FOSIL Symposium. With support from the likes of David Loertscher and members of the FOSIL Group, we discuss the growing role of inquiry in teaching and learning, and how school libraries are adapting and contributing in meaningful ways. We also introduce new initiatives like the open access journal Learning Hub and the Institute for the Advancement of Inquiry. Tune in to hear how school librarians are continuing to support thoughtful, inquiry-based education.
