Grade 4: Vessna's Story Victoria Village Public School About Victoria Village Public School: Urban school located in the east end of Toronto. The student population represents a variety of language groups and families from diverse cultural backgrounds, with 65% of students speaking a primary language other than English.Vessna had only a few years of teaching experience at the elementary level (Grades 2 through 4 ) when she began her Inquiry journey. Although enthusiastic and open to new ideas and ways of teaching, she admits to feeling "hesitant" at the beginning: her grade team members were not starting Inquiry with her; she was concerned about her ability to cover all the curriculum with this new teaching approach; she had not prepared complete units to serve as 'back-up'; and she was uncertain about whether her students "were going to learn enough content and would have enough time for everything".
