This article introduces the inquiry model adopted for Bermuda government preschools and early primary schools, which, because of its emancipatory critical pedagogy, uses abductive reasoning. This model is particularly well suited to government schools, given Bermuda's historical inequities and cultural differences. Abductive reasoning allows for revision with new information, and leads to a broader view of knowledge, innovation, and creativity. It also mimics the way young children learn. Critical emancipatory pedagogy is designed to raise learners' critical consciousness. The article argues that this form of reasoning and critical consciousness is required for Bermuda's children to take their rightful place on the global stage as protagonists rather than as passive recipients. The success of this inquiry model is contingent upon leadership disruption framed within a critical emancipatory pedagogy.
