Every school has stories to tell.
This mode of inquiry combines respect and appreciation for a school's authentic story with probing around ideas, concepts and questions that might illuminate, and be illuminated by, that story. The story mode brings experiences alive. Rationale for the Story Investigation Approach To understand the journeys that schools take, we wanted to hear from these schools and to explore their experiences using an inquiry-based process. Description of our first Storytelling Investigation Approach Three schools tell their stories of becoming learning communities. We experimented with different formats for schools to tell their stories.
