Through a process of Essential Questioning, the Learners move from an abstract Big Idea to a concrete and actionable Challenge.
All Learners plan and participate in a journey that builds the foundation for Solutions and addresses academic requirements.
Evidence-based Solutions are developed, implemented with an authentic audience, and then evaluated based on the results.
01
Before you introduce a new concept to students, show them a word cloud on that topic, using an online generator (e.g., Wordle, Tagxedo, or Tagul) to paste a paragraph or longer of related text, and challenge students to guess what the topic was.
02
The educator replaces lecture by peppering students with questions, always asking the next question in a way that guides the conversation toward a learning outcome
03
The instructor requires students to ask him/her questions, and the instructor answers in such a way as to goad another question immediately but also drive the next student question in a certain direction.
04
Students take turns sitting in a front row that can earn extra credit as individuals when they volunteer to answer questions posed in class; this provides a group that will ALWAYS be prepared and interact with teacher questions.
