Essential Questions [In person] In-Person

From icebreakers to in-class discussions, to assignments and formal assessments, there’s no denying that questioning is a fundamental instructional strategy, learning activity, and assessment procedure for student engagement.

Some questions elicit “an answer” and others open spaces for deeper learning and engagement. Guided by the work of Jay McTighe and Grant Wiggins, we will look at the characteristics of essential questions to help us decide when convergent questions are appropriate and when divergent questions can strengthen student engagement and learning.

* For this session, come with 1-2 questions from either your course outlines, or textbooks, or lesson plans, for discussion.
