Once upon a classroom, I thought I gave students a voice. But it's not mine to give. I cannot give what they already own. But I can give an ear. That is mine to give. Student voice is already there. It's not something we give. It's something we honor. And we do when we listen.

I updated the list of provocations for inquiry - they can be used in any subject. I will create a full list of examples in a PDF tomorrow and link it to the blog I wrote 7 years ago. #pypchat #edchat cristinamilos.education/2013…

Who is finding and solving the problems in your classes? Where are the opportunities for students to find and solve problems, not just be given problems to solve. It is so important to know our communities in order for authentic problem finding and solving to take place.

One of the most potent ways students can deepen learning is to explain concepts to themselves, either in writing or aloud. Self-explanation turns out to be more effective than teacher explanation, taking notes, and several other learning techniques. digest.bps.org.uk/2018/12/07…
