Questioning your Way to Correlation

 

As an instructor you’ve been told, “If you’re not talking, you’re not teaching!” As a student, you are likely unwilling to question your instructor, believing them to be an “expert”.  Telling, demonstrating and criticizing does not always equate to good teaching nor an understanding of the material.  In this interactive clinic, we’ll explore how to structure a lesson using inquiry-based learning so the student and instructor get a chance to experiment and learn.  We’ll see how answering questions with leading questions, being curious and self-reflecting are essential skills that can be used to explore new information, move towards correlation and unlock an authentic assessment.  Join us for a fun and engaging clinic for both instructors and non-instructors.
