Based on the bestselling book by Jay McTighe and Grant Wiggins, Essential Questions: Opening Doors to Student Learning, this video provides practical advice for teachers on not only how to style questions that stimulate thought, provoke inquiry, and spark more questions, but how to transform instructional inquiry as a whole.
This video brings the process to life with scenes from both a very special seminar taught by Wiggins and classrooms where teachers are successfully using essential questions in their instruction. The video also includes expert commentary from McTighe and Wiggins. They bring their years of experience in schools across the country to finding out, just what makes an Essential Question… essential!
This ASCD video includes closed captioning.
