2024 Workshop Talk | | Teacher & Classroom
Summary
Contrary to what many of us were told growing up, there are bad questions. Questions that do not help move a classroom discussion forward. Questions that do not provide clarification for struggling students. Questions that give away the answer. In this workshop we will discuss how to formulate fruitful questions, how to ask good follow up questions, and how to mine your curriculum for the fundamental human questions that should be the focus of your class time.
