About The Workshop
The Questioning Classroom
Led by Peter Davenport
Have you ever wished students would ask more questions in your science classroom, questions that promote a sense of wonder and foster the desire to learn more? Designed for early and mid-career teachers, this workshop will explore how to use the Question Formulation Technique (QFT) to get all of your students involved in asking (and answering) phenomenon-based questions throughout your units. We will also discuss how the QFT works as a formative assessment and in fulfilling many indicators in the Danielson framework.
Peter Davenport has taught middle school life, earth and physical sciences in The Bronx for the past 12 years. Prior to teaching, he was a print journalist and editor, and worked as an interpretive guide developing and leading outdoor programs at Walden Pond in Concord, Mass., and with the Appalachian Mountain Club in New Hampshire. He holds an undergraduate degree in history and graduate degrees in teaching and environmental education. He spends free time bird-watching in New York City’s green spaces.

Please note: We take screenshots, photographs and record video of our workshops in order to publicize a positive image of science teaching, and of STEMteachersNYC – a recognized 501(c)(3) non-profit organization – and to support future teacher leaders. If you register, you are agreeing to be photographed and to have your voice and image video-recorded. You are also agreeing to relinquish all your rights to the photographs and video recordings.
If you do not wish to be photographed or video-recorded – you must inform us before the workshop starts. For in-person workshops, we will take one photograph of your face so that we can erase your image if we happen to catch it by chance during the workshop, and we will do our best to avoid you. We would also appreciate your cooperation in positioning yourself at the edge of the group so as to help us avoid you.
