Lesson 2: Purposes and Plans

In this lesson, we have two primary purposes:

• To get to know each other as a community of educators and inquirers.
• To get a feel for the inquiry by engaging in a brief inquiry cycle.

In this lesson, we plan to:

• Read and reflect on Buchanan-Rivera (2022) focusing on why unpacking identity is important for you and your learners.
• Create an identity web and respond thoughtfully to questions related to your identity.
• Read through your small groups' identity maps and responses.
• Engage in data analysis by re-reading your small group data and writing to think through patterns.
• Reflect on this mini-inquiry cycle as a participant and a researcher.
