Developing an Enquiry/ Inquiry Mindset with Humera Riyaz

In this episode, Toria talks to Humera about enquiry/ inquiry
based learning. Humera believes that for teachers to effectively
teach in this way, they need to develop a mindset in which they
are also enquiry driven. She feels that in order to do this,
professional development should allow for a level of freedom,
allowing educators to follow their fields of interest. Tune in to
hear her talk about how she has embedded this approach at her
school and continues to find new ways to develop both the staff
and children.

Humera is a Primary Years Programme (PYP) coordinator at the
Indian Public school. Connect with her on LinkedIn

More about the Primary Years Programme

The PYP offers a transdisciplinary, inquiry-based and
student-centered education with responsible action at its core,
enabling students to learn between, across and beyond traditional
subject boundaries.

The framework serves as the curriculum organizer and offers an
in-depth guide to achieve authentic conceptual inquiry-based
learning that is engaging, significant, challenging and relevant
for PYP students.


Through the programme of inquiry and by reflecting on their
learning, PYP students develop knowledge, conceptual
understandings, skills and the attributes of the IB Learner
profile. Informed by constructivist and social-constructivist
learning theories, the emphasis on collaborative inquiry and
integrative learning honours the curiosity, voice, and
contribution of the students,
