Description
This session introduces participants to the “See/Think/Wonder” framework - a versatile tool for evidence-based, student-centered discussion that can be applied in STEM, humanities, social sciences, and beyond. Effective teaching with objects relies not on the instructor’s pre-existing content knowledge, but on their skill as a facilitator of observation and critical inquiry—a transferable skill applicable to any classroom setting.
