Category: Education, Post Feed, Questioning Strategies Tags: Effective Questioning, Helen Teague, Nicole Biscotti Leave a Comment

From the Twitter Archives, August 31, 2019… this tweet became the basis for one of my educational resolutions at the start of 2020, before the pandemic changed my halcyon little resolution activity.

When Students ask Questions they:

1. Take responsibility

2. Are engaged

3. Have confidence
4. Trust their Teachers
5. Are empowered

How do we support & empower our Students by encouraging inquiry in our classrooms?
