Critical Inquiry

When I think about critical inquiry, I think how i can improve on my professional practice, and how i can improve on myself as a teacher.  This comes to mind, because of a recent discussion with a colleague.  I have been asking myself questions for a while now, and it is only recently that I have presented it verbally.  I ask myself these questions ...

Am I good enough to be employed at another school?

Am I ready for a change?

Am I challenging myself enough?

As a teacher, is it acceptable to be comfortable with where I am?

Am I ready to move into the big world of teaching, outside of my so called comfort zone?

As a teacher, am I putting myself out there enough to show that I can do this and can do that, and want to be challenged more?

Answers to these questions are on the horizon, they are there.  This is where I find that lots of discussion with colleagues is useful.  It is my colleagues who have more experience than myself, as a teacher.  |It is my colleagues who see what it is that I can not see.  It is my colleagues who can make the confusion clearer, and say it in a way that I can understand.  Is this a process of critical inquiry I ask myself ...
