This is an important aspect of doing inquiry in the classroom and it would
be good to have more models for this. I think the best way of communicating
this might be through having teachers who are good at it describe what they
do early in the year to create a culture that's conducive to inquiry.
Here's a reference that might be helpful. I wish I knew of more of these
kinds of resources and hope others will offer suggestions.
This is a chapter from an book on inquiry mostly written by my staffmates
at the Institute for Inquiry. It's at
http://www.nsf.gov/pubs/2000/nsf99148/ch_8.htm
You can print it out as html or a pdf. If you are interested in the rest of
the book, access it at

If you find out other resources that are helpful, please send them to the
list,
Cheers,
Fred
