The message: We can sometimes get hung up on getting the answers because that’s the whole idea behind solving problems. That being said, we mustn’t forget the most important part of any learning process, which is asking meaningful and purposeful questions. In the end, that’s how we truly learn.
All of the essential questions we give our students are meant to teach them more than to just respond—they must spark their imagination. They’re questions that inspire knowledge quests and a thirst for discovery. Also, we must encourage students to ask questions of their own. Being curious and hungry for learning is a wonderful gift to give to a student.
