Inquiry & Student Thinking

When have students’ questions or inquiries challenged your perspective or taken learning in an unexpected direction?
How do you help students formulate meaningful questions and create a safe space for them to ask questions that matter to them?
How do you recognize when real learning or true engagement in inquiry is happening, and what evidence do you look for to assess students’ thinking?
What does productive struggle, confusion, or uncertainty look like in your classroom, and how do you support students through it?
How do you respond when students’ questions or misconceptions don’t align with your planned outcomes?
How do you help students reflect on what they’ve learned through inquiry, especially those who struggle with open-ended questions?
