#11: How to Keep Kids in School and Ignite their Passion for Learning: Fostering an Inquiry Mindset in Your Students (with Trevor MacKenzie)

You know one of my favorite parts of recording this podcast is that I get to speak to a ton of incredible people who are doing what they are meant to do! And today, I’m going to introduce you to someone who is doing just that and encouraging his students to connect to their hidden potential. In this episode you’ll learn the one thing you need to reach your most at-risk learners. You’ll understand how to encourage students to become agents of their own learning through 4 types of inquiry instruction, tangible ways to develop positive self-talk in your students, and the importance of making yourself vulnerable in the eyes of your students. Enjoy! Trevor MacKenzie is an award-winning high-school teacher in Victoria, Canada who believes in preparing students for the 21st century though an innovative, inquiry-based approach. He is the author of Dive into Inquiry and Inquiry Mindset (which he co-authored with Rebecca Bathurst-Hunt). You can find him @trev_mackenzie and [trevormackenzie.com][1].
