How does the DQB support equitable science classrooms?
-
The use of a DQB supports equitable science classrooms in several ways:
-
A DQB shifts the focus of learning from an individual experience to a collective one in which our collective experiences and ideas are useful for moving our thinking forward.
-
Every student contributes a question and all of those varied questions are useful in helping the class move forward. The teacher can build a culture of appreciating and valuing diverse ideas and thinking.
-
The DQB is a visual representation of the class’s shared mission of learning in the unit, which increases the ownership and agency students have of their learning.
