"The concept of collaborative inquiry is increasingly bandied about these days with little precision. In one fell swoop, Donohoo and Velasco change all that with this succinct, hard hitting, complete, powerful, and, above all, accessible book on collaborative inquiry."

-Michael Fullan, Professor Emeritus

OISE/University of Toronto

"Donohoo and Velasco guide readers through an inquiry process that can strengthen every professional learning community. They provide the 'how' to teacher collaboration and shine light on the path that will get us all there."

-Douglas Fisher, Professor

San Diego State University
