Question Routines are designed to help teachers leverage student-generated questions to help plan next steps in learning. These routines call on students to sort, organize, justify, and revise their questions and in doing so, help them become more competent questioners themselves. Mr. MacKenzie will demonstrate strategies to plan for curiosity through the lens of provocations, facilitate learning of the ten high impact Question Routines from the publication, and examine how these routines align with inquiry teaching and learning. |
