We thought about titling this session, "Stop Giving Them The Answer: Let Them Figure It Out Themselves!", but thought that sounded a little too edgy. Join us for a strategy-building session on how to foster student-owned learning in the classroom (and live!). Don't expect 1 size fits all answers - just questions, strategies, possibilities, examples, and maybe a few awkward silences...
