C3 Webinar: How Do You Make Questions Come Alive for Inquiry in the Classroom?
Tuesday, February 11, 2014

Featured C3 Teacher Presenters: Stephen Lazar and Andy Snyder

Developing strategies for helping students develop inquiry questions is a very important first step in successful implementing C3 supported inquiry in the classroom. This webinar will feature C3 Teachers in action as they facilitate participant discussions about strategies for developing students' questioning skills in the classroom. Bring your own challenges--we'll devote part of the webinar to finding solutions together.

Kathy Swan and John Lee, C3 Framework writers and co-creators of the C3 Teachers movement, will be on hand to help provide additional insight into the challenges and opportunities of the C3 Framework.

Required Reading: College, Career, and Civic Life (C3) Framework for Social Studies State Standards: Guidance for Enhancing the Rigor of K-12 Civics, Economics, Geography, and History.
