Introducing Evidence of Inquiry-A Companion for Authentic Documentation
Whether you're an educator, a leader, or program coordinator I’m so excited to share something that’s been in the works for the last year and a half: my second publication, Evidence of Inquiry, is officially here 🥳
This book is more than just a collection of suggestions to consider — it's an invitation to pause, to wonder, and to reimagine what’s possible when we approach documentation with authenticity and agency.
What’s Inside
Evidence of Inquiry is designed to be both practical and reflective — a tool to help you take inspired action while staying rooted in your values. Inside, you’ll find:
✨ A step-by-step process for building and sustaining a learning wall
✨ A heartfelt foreword by Trevor MacKenzie on agency and the intentional moves educators make
✨ Playful and thought-provoking sketchnotes to anchor key concepts and spark professional dialogue
✨ Practical resources to nurture a culture of inquiry, including:
End-of-chapter reflection prompts with actionable next steps
Guidance on how to start and engage in learning walks
A downloadable Color Companion Resource with all the visuals from the book
20 vignettes from classroom teachers, school leaders, and program coordinators sharing their unique documentation journeys
*you can find some of these resources here
This Is Our Conversation
So many of you have been a part of this unfolding story — asking brave questions, embracing uncertainty, and sharing your reflections and experiences across social media platforms or through other partnerships of connection like school based workshops or ongoing consulting support. Like Leading with a Lens of Inquiry, this book is written in the spirit of connection. I hope it feels like a conversation we’re having together, a pause in your day to reflect and reimagine alongside a familiar voice.
As you begin to tinker, edit or revise your learning wall, I’d love to see how you are applying the strategies and what impact it’s having on your practice. A simple email sent to 💌 jessica@leadingwithinquiry.com, a DM or tagged post on social media (LinkedIn or Instagram) to share how it’s going is warmly welcomed!
That said, if you’d like to continue to conversation with a more formal partnership, you can take a look at my offerings on my Work with Me page to see how and what this might look like and sound like!
Where to Get Your Copy
You can find Evidence of Inquiry on Amazon, at your local bookstore (just ask!), or directly via my website (please inquire for bulk order discounts!).
However you choose to engage with this book, I hope it becomes a companion on your journey — one that invites you to notice more deeply, document more intentionally, and lead more courageously.
Stay connected friends. More soon 💕
