Jo Fahey’s book offers a rich range of classroom-proven engagements to inspire young children to inquire and take action. Each chapter is filled with:

  • Vivid examples from units of inquiry
  • At-a-glance strategies for teaching, sharing and assessing
  • Photographs of teaching and learning in action
  • Dialogues of classroom interactions
  • Samples of children’s work
  • References to significant research and theories

“Jo Fahey vividly depicts inquiry with young children and challenges educators to imagine a new range of what is possible in early childhood classrooms centered on learning through inquiry. She shares compelling images of the multiple ways that inquiry can play out in the lives of young children when educators view inquiry as a philosophy rather than a specific set of procedures.”
