Curiosity is the spark, but structure fuels the fire. In this interactive session, participants will explore how intentional questioning and collaborative structures can support all learners. We’ll dive into a framework for building and scaffolding questions that promote critical thinking, then practice using student-friendly discussion protocols to increase access and engagement.
