I probably misunderstood this aside, taking it to mean that the
 evaluations provided by students of teachers correlate with the amount
of inquiry-oriented teaching that those teachers employ.

This seems to clash with a theme I thought you had mentioned before: that
inquiry-based methods can provide lower student estimates of teacher
effectiveness, because the students are now actively engaged in
 teaching themselves?
