Mini Plenary — Questions to Encourage Curiosity, Connection, and Engagement with Katie Hyten To have robust, open-minded, healthy discussions, you have to ask the right questions. Questions about lived experiences, values, and tensions encourage rich, deep discussions of a topic, whether in the classroom or in the office. But they do much more. Great questions also invite authentic relationships, mutual understanding, trust, and a sense of belonging—all of which allow students and colleagues to take risks, make mistakes, collaborate in difficult moments, explore new ideas, and remain open to different perspectives. This session will help participants use questions to create trust, build mutual understanding, and deepen learning. As a result of this mini-plenary session, participants will: - Understand the power of questions to create deeper connections among people and to learning or work goals
- Learn to craft questions for a dialogic moment that help make conversations more personal, connected to content, and complex
