Today, we explore another in our series of paradigm shifts that provide the foundation for our work to cultivate curiosity and wonder.

Fewer is better:  Using deeper questions to provoke thinking not just elicit responses

Shift – Get the questions to come from the student; they ask what they really want to know more about . . . 

The Shift

• Avoid rapid fire; ask questions that matter.
• Ask questions that take more exploration to answer.
• Ask questions not just to check for understanding but to engage more deeply in content. 
• Ask fewer questions; get students to ask the questions and pursue the answers because they are exploring what matters and is of interest to them concerning a specific topic.
