Rachel French | Designing for Deep Learning_Concept-Based Inquiry & Alberta's New Curriculum

In this episode of The Learning Curve, host and Assessment & Reporting Consultant Julia McLeod is joined by internationally renowned educator and author Rachel French, Director of Professional Learning International and co‑author of Concept‑Based Inquiry in Action.
