Description
The skill of asking their own questions can lead to greater student engagement and ownership of the learning process. Students formulate questions that will guide them to engage in scientific and mathematical practices as they classify, modify, evaluate, and prioritize what they want to learn. The Question Formulation Technique (QFT) guides you through strategies for incorporating student questioning into your lessons, leading students to think more critically and independently. Participants are encouraged to attend the session with an upcoming project, unit or activity in mind. You'll leave with a plan of action!
