Imagine classrooms alive with students actively formulating their own questions, learning to improve their questions and strategizing about how to use their questions. Imagine students having a skill they can use at the school for learning and in the community for more equity and for a stronger democracy. This session will catalyze deeper learning and strengthen our democracy by teaching students how to ask questions. According to Dr. Howard Gardner, Asking questions is a democratic habit of mind that is now more important than ever. Students who learn to ask questions become more curious and engaged, take more ownership of their learning, and begin to learn more deeply. Through teaching question formulation to their students, school librarians, technology teachers, and other educators become builders of a stronger democracy.
