Participants in this session will consider and discuss how they develop teachers' understanding of enquiry types, stimulated by the publication of a new edition of ‘It’s not fair – or is it?’ The authors of the new edition have considered questions such as:

•What are enquiry types?
•How useful are they?
•How have our definitions of them evolved since the publication of the National Curriculum (England) and the first edition of It's not fair?
•What do teachers and children need to know about them?
•Common misconceptions when teaching and learning about the enquiry types

They invite participants to join the conversation and consider the implications this has for their practice.

This session is related to the book It's not fair - or is it? which can be purchased from the ASE/Millgate bookshop.
