Releasing the Power That Is Locked within "I Don't Know"
Description
Knowing the answer is important--but even more important is knowing what to do when you don't know the answer. In this session, we explore using activities that engage students in productive struggle to nurture motivation and hone disposition as they construct "new" knowledge by encouraging transfer of existing knowledge to unfamiliar situations.
