Without the questions and the discussion and the debates and the reflection and the cycle returning to more questions, our thinking may not have the needed clarity, our direction might not be as stable, and our learning may not be as fruitful. On Friday, our community of learners continued the questions, discussion, debates, and reflection of standards-based learning and grading in PLCs. It is evidence of our curiosity of best practice and our determination to do what's best for our students.
"It isn't supposed to be easy, it's supposed to be worth it" (Burgess, 2016).
Just as "questioning" has been good for our learning process as we dig into standards-based learning and grading, I am reminded how important it is for our students as well. Here is an article about how to bring "more beautiful" questions back to school.
