Teachers’ Cup of Coffee

What types of questions do you ask in the classroom?  And how do these questions either lead to high level learning or deter it?  Starting with the story of Aiden in 7th grade science, we take our first dive into teacher questioning and what it means to learning.

Steve Jobs used to be sent home from elementary school for poor behavior.  What can we as educators learn from his experience?

In the first episode of the Teachers Cup of Coffee, we explore how a famous TED Talk on business leadership can help us inspire students to connect to learning in the classroom.  Running just over 5 minutes, this episode will inspire you to bring purpose to learning for students!
