I’m reading an inspiring book. It’s called Make Just One Change: Teach Students to Ask Their Own Questions (Rothstein & Santana, 2017).
The core idea is that children and young people who ask questions about their learning engage more. This resonates strongly with me – it’s something I’ve seen again and again in Philosophy for Children, for example.
Here are some things I particularly like about the book:
The method is very simple and very structured.
The classroom anecdotes are fascinating and cover different ages and curriculum areas.
It is about empowering young people and getting them involved in their learning.
Make Just One Change describes another valuable way of developing high-quality classroom talk and critical thinking amongst your pupils – and is therefore well worth considering.
