The Right to Be Wrong
Saturday Breakfast,
7:30 am - 9:00 am

We all look for ways to increase our students' involvement in classroom
discussion. By asking for conjectures, we sidestep students' fears of
being wrong. pique their curiosity, invite participation, and foster
critical thinking. Whether their guesses are "right" or "wrong", our
words and actions can help turn every student response into a learning
opportunity.
