I agree with one of the comments that was made, it is important to let students struggle with their learning and not give them the answers when they do struggle.  Students should see us struggle with our learning and see us make mistakes so that they in turn can do the same.

Great takeaway!

Question are more important than answers.letting kids feel safe and comfortable to ask questions. Neat to see the ice breaker come into play with the principal of the school.

I loved the title of this video and the ways that they applied teaching through experience rather than coursework to the principles of educating children. Having students ask questions as a way to learn and allowing them to make mistakes and create their own things through the lesson material really improves their experience of understanding and the meaning they get out of their schoolwork.

Immediate take away, I like the title "Questions are More Important Than Answers".  I love how the staff empowered the students.  Field Trips are always a great way to incorporate life lessons.  Something that the kids will want to learn and use through their lives.  When you let the kids figure it out and not give them the answers, it lets them know that what they have to say is important.  Your input makes a difference, you matter.

When students construct knowledge in a safe environment where they feel free to explore, it gives them confidence to take risks and ask questions.
