2020 Workshop Talk | 42:32 | 7-12, Academics & Curriculum, Teacher & Classroom, General Classroom
Summary
Every teacher uses questions in daily lessons, and gifted teachers instinctively leverage questions to inspire learning. But too often teachers restrict their questions simply to leading students to parrot answers and thus miss out on the real power of questions: to excite the “work of discovering truth” and “knowing the unknown” (Gregory). This workshop will investigate the power of questions to awaken inquiry, distinguish between various types of questions, and suggest a number of ways teachers can formulate and deploy questions in instruction.
