By ten to eleven years of age they’ve pretty much stopped asking

PowerPoint Presentation: 

Sadly, by the age of twenty five…

PowerPoint Presentation: 

…only 2% can think outside the box

PowerPoint Presentation: 

As young children, we are wonderfully curious about many, many things

PowerPoint Presentation: 

As we grow up, we start believing the answers are more important than the questions

PowerPoint Presentation: 

If we want to improve the quality of our thinking… we must learn to improve the quality of our questions

Classroom strategy: 

Classroom strategy Hands up... ...only if you have a question to ask

PowerPoint Presentation: 

To be what we can be as educators our primary role must be to ...

PowerPoint Presentation: 

... maintain, to nourish, and to celebrate each learner’s curiosity and sense of wonder
