My students are too young to ask big questions.
My students just aren’t curious.
My students only ask closed questions. Igniting and embracing curiosity is essential to inquiry-based learning, and that begins with questions. But if your students’ off-topic, too basic, or simply non-existent questions have left you discouraged, you know that getting to the right questions isn’t always easy. Asking questions that have the power to create authentic inquiry experiences and effectively drive learning takes practice. That’s where Inquiry Mindset: Questions Edition comes in.
In this book, Trevor Mac Kenzie offers tools and teacher insights that demonstrate the power and potential of student-generated inquiries. The Question Routines he outlines serve as a framework that you and your students can use to craft, organize, and justify questions. Effective across grade levels and subject areas, the strategies Mac Kenzie provides will empower you to bring fresh excitement and engagement to the learning experience.
As you integrate these Question Routines into your teaching practice, you will discover . . .
Dive in, and let curiosity and questions, such as What if . . . ? How could we . . . ? I wonder what would happen if . . . . inspire and drive inquiry for you and your students.
