Milton Youth Forum, October 2017

Thanks for summarizing what we did Pamela. I repeated what we had done on day 1 on my own on day 2. There seem to be a bit more energy for the questioning piece in the afternoon. Here is the link to the Question Formulation Technique: (you need to join and log in to access the slideshow).

The KBC led to some rich discussion. The new question was: “How can we engage young people with the challenges of our time through action projects?” and...
“What does it take to make that happen in our classrooms?"

We also touched on the 4Cs of 21st century learning (critical thinking, creativity, collaboration and communication) in our discussion around the shift from conventional teaching to transformative teaching. I've also uploaded a video called "Above and Beyond" that hightlights the 4C. Our "question focus" was "Social action does not belong in the classroom". This question focus is supposed to spark questions.
