ASTcover.jpg

The most comprehensive, accessible, and educative textbook on the subject. My students consistently call this their favorite text of any course they take.

—Kumari Beck, Associate Professor, Simon Fraser University

A must-have for the social studies teacher. Not only was it invaluable to me as an education student, but I still find myself consulting it on a regular basis years into my career.

—Gordon von Muehldorfer, Social Studies Teacher, Calgary, Alberta

For over 25 years, Learning to Inquire has been a trusted cornerstone and a favourite among secondary and post-secondary educators. Recently refreshed, it continues to empower teaching, learning, and leading at every level. The resource features practical tools and powerful strategies designed to nurture strong, independent learners and critical thinkers. Whether you're a new teacher, an experienced educator refining your practice, or a university instructor guiding future educators, Learning to Inquire in History, Geography, and Social Studies (4th edition) provides everything you need to support learners.
