I'm Bonnie Kirkley anSTEAM Educational Coach and Consultant. I help Elementary Teachers and Administrators create classrooms that grow STEM or STEAM as a community culture, so that they can foster students who will become creative critical thinkers engaged in Project-Based Learning which allows for deeper insight and understanding to take place across ALL the core subjects. I believe that now more than ever our students need to develop their own creativity, critical thinking, collaboration with peers, and communication skills beyond their comfort zone.-We have all been taking for granted what our students ACTUALLY understand and know for a long time.

Project Based Learning Driving Questions for Students That Connect

September 23, 2022 • Bonnie Kirkley • Season 2 • Episode 43

Project-based learning, the beginning driving question, classroom essential questions, enduring understandings.. This list can be overwhelming! Today we break it down and make it right!

If you do something in the classroom just for a leader and not the students, it won't matter much. You have to KNOW why you do something with students and know they need it. Let's get the whole question dilemma sorted out!

Check out some great driving questions from our friends at Rock by Rock!

In this episode, we talk about improving student connections to questions through inquiry practice. My favorite strategy: See, Think, Wonder ! Get a little more info right here on the blog and grab the latest resource for this strategy right here! To get even more inquiry practice in, take your students on a virtual investigation journey. This one is hot off the presses!

Free resources always pick me up! Use these STEAM explanation posters for better understanding in the classroom, and hold your horses... I will be sending out 4 C posters to the email list soon. Make sure you are on it!

Until next time, Do you I Heart STEAM, too?
