This book provides a deep dive into teacher-led inquiries related to design, pedagogy, and collaborative practice in flexible learning environments. Mahat and Bradbeer skilfully weave together research, theory, and contextualised evidence with practical examples and insights from a range of school settings. Perhaps most importantly it is written by educators for educators in a practical and easy to understand manner. This will certainly be a “go to” book for those seeking to move into more responsive and innovative schooling design and approaches.

A thorough yet practical lens on the impact of teacher-led inquiry, Teacher-led inquiry in School Learning Environments echoes what I have observed in my work supporting schools in implementing inquiry-based learning throughout my career, that if we want agency, ownership, and curiosity for our students, then we need schools and systems that provide agency, ownership, and curiosity for teachers. A welcome addition to any inquiry practitioner's bookshelf!
