Do you have trouble challenging your students and/or experience classroom management issues? Sometimes these things occur because we teach too “simply,” lecturing our students about what to do and think. Therefore today’s episode focuses on higher- level thinking in the classroom setting, as well as allowing students to make “mistakes” in our classroom. The guest, Diana Laufenberg, is an expert in helping young people think deeper and more purposefully. Diana is the speaker on the TedTalk titled “How to learn- from mistakes” as well as the person behind Inquiry Schools.
