In this 1-hour course, Joyce Juntune, Ph.D., will teach you to:
- Engage students’ curiosity with “I wonder …” questions
- Use multiple senses to unlock the brain
- Increase opportunities for students to master concepts

By learning about inquiry questions we become better presenters, we catch the attention of those who have still in them bits and pieces of imagination. This course helps us to distinguish between learning abstract concepts and concepts we internalize to make them ours. The latter concepts mentioned are the ones that make learning interesting and make our lessons last for a long time in our students memories.
