C119: What key and related concepts live here?
Apr 13, 2023 Season 3 Episode 119
Lu Gerlach

In this episode, I was provoked by ideas and questions by Yuni Santosa and Shailja Datt. 

Yuni asked,  ”Hmmm... is this the criteria based on the visible aspects (see and hear)?  This made me think about how we are balancing what we put onto the walls into our daily practice that can be evidenced by learner behavior and thinking.

Shailja suggested, "Key concepts begin with and & then whether they are relevant, challenging and significant or not."

This provoked me to ask the question, "How do we make key and related concepts engaging, challenging, relevant, and significant for our learners?"  In this episode we will explore how to use the inquiry thinking strategies to apply the meaning of the key and related concepts to the content.

Get ready for a big cerebral experience!
