Q1 It’s not about the answer, it’s about how you find it. How do you teach students to value the learning process?

A2: Ts need to talk less and listen more. They need to ask their Ss questions and allow time for their Ss to reflect.

A2B: If the teacher has a
#growthmindset
there is a better chance they foster one in their students.

A3: Students are naturally curious, it's what we do with the questions that determine if they ask more - we want them to ask more

I see what you did there! It is all about the JOURNEY!

A3 totally agree! Once students hear that their
#questions
are important and valuable, it keeps the door open for more

May 3 @ 6:21 PM EDT
A3 encourage Ss to ask questions. Ss should be googling things constantly

This is a Q that I think about a lot. How do I ask Ss a Q that doesn't just prompt an A but ignites their curiosity to think more

Q4 During PBL or inquiry-led learning, what are some of the obstacles you’ve faced and how did you overcome them?
#recapchat

May 3 @ 6:24 PM EDT
Me too! It's important for them to see us as learners first.

A4: Ss are not used to their curiosity being valuable. They need to know it's ok to try and to keep trying.

A4 not being sure of whole

process and how to best help students with essential questions, I researched
In reply to @RecapThat
guyonsmile
May 3 @ 6:26 PM EDT
Agreed - that's the biggest shift in how we run our class. Ss don't need lectures and notes about things they can just google

A4. Group relations breaking down, not having enough time to designate to the PBL, rushing near the final phase(s)...

A4. Cont...never give up, learn from past missteps, help students work through disagreements.

Curiosity is the opposite of failure. Ts fail their Ss when they don't foster it.
