Webinar: Cultivating Student Agency with Driving Question Boards

Placing students in the driver’s seat doesn’t only enrich their learning experiences, it builds valuable, lifelong skills in decision-making, problem-solving, and teamwork.

Using learning strategies that foster student agency, like driving question boards (DQB), lets learners take an active role in investigations using evidence-based questions, transforming classrooms into spaces of curiosity, exploration, and equity.

A DQB is a public display of student questions about engaging phenomena. The student-led strategy is inclusive to varied backgrounds and experiences, building understanding of real-world science concepts as students use evidence to refine their thinking and answer their own questions.

While asking and answering questions, they investigate ideas and find their place in the scientific process. The agency that comes with a DQB also supports personal strengths like self-regulation and reflection.

Ready to utilize the learning process in your classrooms? Our expert-led webinar, Student Agency: Putting Students at the Helm of Science Learning, introduces Driving Question Boards and gives educators practical steps to start.
