Project overview
The current project of the inquirers.org team is a research project on the traits of successful people, and how they relate to their educational experience and learning from life outside schools and colleges.
The research question is
What are the traits of successful people?
- What are the underlying common traits that lead to success?
- Are they different in different fields/cultures
- How do they link to curriculum outcomes and other effects of education?
This will be developed into a book and proposals for educational reform. The main authors are Simon Davidson and Lindsey Ferrie.

A photography book which shows pictures of where children sleep around the world. Combines a portrait of the child with a picture of their bedroom. Great book for see-think-wonder
Mike Farley has created a fantastic resource for teachers of social studies here. Under the headings:
Energy, Environment, Global Poverty, Global Conflict, Migration & Civic Action, he has provided links to 'serious games', together with downloadable worksheets that aim to help students get the most out of the game.
You HAVE to check out this website! It would be great for our G5 unit Through the Eyes of a Child, and Energy, the G3 unit on Migration, G6 on Natural Disasters - and that's just a start...
