Trevor MacKenzie facilitates learning from his recently released fourth publication, Inquiry Mindset Questions Edition. Question Routines are designed to help teachers leverage student-generated questions to help plan next steps in learning. These routines call on students to sort, organize, justify, and revise their questions and in doing so, help them become more competent questioners themselves. Mr. MacKenzie will demonstrate strategies to plan for curiosity through the lens of provocations, facilitate learning of the ten high impact Question Routines from the publication, and examine how these routines align with inquiry teaching and learning and curricular standards.
A focus of the day will also be on student-centered assessment strategies with a lens on supporting learners in understanding where they are in their learning and where they need to go next in their learning. Mr. MacKenzie is an educator in British Columbia, Canada, who teaches in a public school system world renowned for its rich formative assessment practice and competency focused standards. Powerful co-design and feedback structures will be shared from the ELA setting thus providing sensible and time effective strategies to support student growth in the classroom.
