Formulating the VIT Inquiry Question | Teacher Strategy Vault

Picking your inquiry topic is one of those decisions that shapes everything after it.

This simple protocol will help any provisional teacher who's about to start their inquiry and isn't sure where to begin, or who's already got a draft question and wants to check that it is going to hold up before locking it in. It aims to help you land on a question that's genuinely useful, realistic for the time you've got, and meets what the registration panel is actually looking for.

This product is specific to the Victorian Institute of Teaching's Full Registration process. What's included:

• A starting-point checklist of self-reflection questions, so your question comes from something real

• VIT's own SMART checklist, with self-check questions for each one

• A short list of the traps that catch most PRTs out, so you can avoid them early
