Education and the Inquiring Mindset: Enhancing Learning, Teaching, and Accomplishment

Join us for a unique, engaging and informative education conference - Education and the Inquiring Mindset Enhancing Learning, Teaching, and Accomplishment on Wednesday July 27 in Princeton, New Jersey. Hosted by Dr. Marilee Adams and the Inquiry Institute.

Explore with us how the Inquiring Mindset in Education can make a difference in Teaching, learning and accomplishment.

Students with an active Inquiring Mindset are motivated, curious, and engaged learners. They ask questions that naturally reinforce critical thinking, problem-solving, and accomplishment — regardless of grade level or subject.

The purpose of the conference is to introduce the concept and tools of the Inquiring Mindset (IM) and how these perspectives and skills support success and satisfaction in both learning and teaching.

Participants will take away practices and tools that:

• Empower 21^st century skills of decision-making, problem-solving, and collaboration —
  in the classroom and beyond
• Create more positive classroom environments that support students’ love of
  learning, commitment, and achievement
• Enhance the benefits of the Inquiring Mindset for teaching and learning
• Reinforce the “growth mindset,” reduce stress, and promote optimism and tenacity
• Develop collaborative and productive Professional Learning Communities
