When we stop questioning, we stop learning and growing.

At the end of a day of teaching, many teachers reflect on the hours that have passed, rewinding the tape to consider what worked, what inspired, what stumbled and what they might change in the future. This reflective process is central to the growth process, and questions are the tools that enable the following to thrive:

Wondering
Considering
Predicting
Challenging
Testing
Probing
Stretching
Inventing

Ideally, the questioning teacher becomes capable of reinvention and is never stuck for long in ruts or slumps.
