ABSTRACT
Following a presentation to the school’s staff about the proposed pilot project, one of the more sceptical members of the audience asked if we were recommending the inquiry-based approach on the basis of any personal experience. The project leaders, David Frost and Jim Nixon, were able to say that, yes, they had experienced the benefits of self-critical inquiry at first hand and, furthermore, they were committed to continuing to use it to develop their practice as the tutors for the proposed group (this issue was explored more fully in Chapter 2).
