The Art of Questioning: Leading Learners to Level Up
“Questions are the waypoints on the path of wisdom.” ~ Grant Lichtman. This session will focus on the art of questioning and using the TI-Nspire™ Navigator™ System as a formative assessment tool. Work on becoming a falconer…leading your learners to level up through questions rather than lectures. Come prepared to develop formative assessment strategies and documents to share with students to help them calibrate their understanding and decode their struggles. Be prepared to share your assessments with others for feedback and suggestions

Experiments in Learning by Doing 
for my own part, one of the transformational ideas was to present the measures for “Level 4” but only to teach and test for “Level 3.”
(and how cool is it to learn from someone whose initials are Jet Propulsion Laboratory?)
