Kim Scott has taught for more than 20 years, mainly as principal and in other management positions. Passionate about inquiry and about learning in general, she was prompted to write this series after many schools she worked with suggested that her ideas and resources offer support that would be more widely appreciated. Her hope is that these books provide the backbone for change in integrated inquiry and a way forward for schools.
