Description
John Dewey said, “To think is to question.” The role of questioning has morphed into a test prep activity, focused on one right answer. Throughout history, questioning has been a skill of the educated class, a characteristic of the creative individuals, way of life for toddlers. James Thurber wrote, “It is better to know some of the questions than all of the answers.” Students deserve to learn the skill of questioning, not just for a test, but for the inquiry process that leads to future learning. Participants consider the critical role of questioning in achievement, attitude, and attendance.
