Workshop 1 Guiding Student Ideas Eliciting student ideas often reveals a wide range of prior knowledge and experience. In Workshop One, teachers will consider steps they can take to steer student thinking and questioning and to bring focus to student investigations. Once students are able to articulate their questions, they must then decide how to answer them. In Workshop Two, teachers will focus on steps they can take to help students design their own investigations.
