Workshop Full DescThis workshop will help educators focus on student-centered learning through inquiry-based learning practices. Curiosity and questioning are inherent within us all, yet as children grow older, they may become more reserved in exploring their curiosity. The workshop will help teachers help students develop autonomy, exploration, and experimentation skills, bolster their imagination, and embrace intrinsic motivation. In addition, the workshop will offer ways teachers can get their students to ask questions and have more meaningful, intrinsically motivated discussions through multiple strategies including the Question Formulation Technique.
