Three Questions

Session 1

Gary S. Stager Ph.D. — Constructing Modern Knowledge

Room 1182

Educators yearning to create more productive contexts for learning should be able to answer three essential questions about teaching and learning. This session will introduce three provocative questions via classroom vignettes and the perspectives of big thinkers whose shoulders we stand upon. Then there will be a chance to think aloud and clarify your stance towards the future of education.

A new free eBook on radical approaches to education will be launched at this session.

Conversational Practice

Three essential questions will be introduced via classroom examples and theoretical perspectives offered by a range of elders, well-known and unknown, whose ideas can and should shape future pedagogical practice. There will be ample opportunity for conversation.
