Feat. Sands Secondary School students working together to create positive change in their school, utilizing the Spirals of Inquiry framework.

NOIIE Indigenous Transitions Research Study

The NOIIE Indigenous Transitions Study explored how collaborative inquiry can help educators to improve transitions for Indigenous students—from grade to grade, school to school, and beyond school. Dr. Catherine McGregor & Jo Chrona, with assistance from Dr. Allyson Fleming & Rochelle Esterhuizin, have published a 2024 NOIIE Transitions Report that draws on written case studies and extensive interviews with team members from the 20 participating schools, the learning coaches and the network leaders.
