Hello, I'm Michelle Worgan

I want to take a moment to share with you the story of how the Inspiring Inquiries Training Pathway came to be. It all started with a simple desire – to make a difference in the lives of our young learners and create a learning environment that truly engages and supports them.

As an ELT teacher, I have always believed that education goes far beyond the mere transfer of knowledge. It is about creating experiences that spark a passion for learning and which empower students to become active participants in their own education. However, a few years ago, I was becoming disillusioned with teaching and found myself simply going through the motions. I knew something needed to change – for my and my students’ sakes. 

At the same time, I was writing ELT materials for various publishers. While I was mostly enjoying this, it didn’t always provide the outlet for creativity that I had expected. Working on course after course made me realise that while for many teachers a carefully structured course book is a helpful timesaver, for me it wasn’t the best option.

I began searching for ways to take the lesson off the page. I knew I needed to make my lessons not only interactive and enjoyable for my students, but also meaningful and rooted in their lives and aspirations.

That’s when I started to explore other teaching methods and strategies that would transform my classroom into a hub of curiosity and collaboration. I did lots of reading, attended workshops, and connected with fellow educators from different corners of the world. In this process, I discovered the power of inquiry-based learning.

Inspired by this approach, I began incorporating inquiry-based activities into my lessons. My students became more engaged and their curiosity flourished. Seeing my learners enjoying making decisions and engaging in the topic really made me start to enjoy teaching again. 

But I knew that my own journey couldn’t end there. I wanted to share this approach with teachers around the world and encourage them to make positive change in their own classrooms. That’s how the Inspiring Inquiries Training Pathway was born.

Through my training programme and resource packs, I aim to equip teachers like you with the knowledge, skills, and resources to create a supportive and inclusive classroom environment that fosters student engagement. The Inspiring Inquiries Training Pathway helps you become a confident inquiry teacher in just six weeks. 

What sets the Inspiring Inquiries Training Pathway apart is the emphasis on practical application. Each module is designed to provide you with actionable strategies that can be easily implemented in your own classroom. And it’s written specifically for ELT teachers, like you.

I am thrilled to be able to offer this training pathway to ELT teachers around the world. Together, we can revolutionise ELT and empower our students to become lifelong learners.

Let’s create democratic classrooms where curiosity thrives, learning is shared, and students are truly inspired to reach their full potential.
