This week during Recess Duty we talk with Jessica Vance! We discuss her new book "Leading with a Lens of Inquiry" our journey of becoming inquiry-driven educators in the classroom and how we guide students through their own inquiries in all subjects.

With a professional teaching and leadership background in both private and public international schools (IB PYP Educator & PYP Coordinator), Jessica brings a unique perspective to her role as Enrichment & Environment Coordinator. Her passion for student-centered learning, collaboration, and coaching stem from the students themselves, finding inspiration in their natural curiosity as they authentically engage in learning experiences inside and outside of the classroom. Jessica strongly believes in the power of leading with a lens of inquiry, facilitating innovative professional learning opportunities and coaching sessions that provide the space for educators to collaborate and reflect while supporting their professional growth as inquiry practitioners.

Her journey and experience as an inquiry educator in IB schools and Place-Based Education fuels her passion and global work in coaching both teachers and leaders in their roles, as well as supporting schools in implementing inquiry-based learning. Jessica understands the power of curiosity to guide the next steps, creating the space we all need as learners as we actively engage in reflective practice. In her newest publication, Leading with a Lens of Inquiry, she outlines the ways in which we, as leaders, need to support and facilitate our teachers in the same ways in which we want our teachers to engage with their students.
