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 (it is a slideshow but you need to register and log in to see it). http://rightquestion.org/educators/resources/. Our 'provoking' question focus was "social action has no place in the classroom'.

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 we showed that hightlighted the 4Cs in the facilitator's resources (as I cannot put a link in comments). Here is the link to the page: https://www.fablevisionlearning.com/blog/2014/05/above-and-beyond-the-story-of-the-4cs
