Who I am
My name is John Herse and I am a fourth grade teacher working within the IB PYP framework. I am currently living in Beijing, China. This “blog” was born out of a desire to explore and share not only ideas and takeaways, but the actual steps I might take in an inquiry process with my students. In my search of blogs, Instagram accounts, books, everything felt so abstract. The theory was there, but putting it into practice was another thing altogether.
I am not pushing idea that there are always designated steps to take for inquiry, but rather these are steps I might take in different ways to get to this sometimes elusive idea of “inquiry”.
I hope this site serves as a way for you to make connections, aha moments, suggestions, tweaks, anything to build a stronger community for our students in their inquiry journeys!
