We ask questions every day of ourselves and don’t give much thought to the critical role questioning plays in enabling us to be problem solvers, innovators, and critical thinkers. Education today is moving away from the search for absolute answers and engaging in questioning strategies to deeply reason with information.  Please join us for this book study as we explore: •    What is a beautiful question? •    What is your beautiful question? •    Why should we care about questions? •    What skills do we need to ask questions? •    What can we learn from master questioners? •    Why does the stream of questions from curious toddlers show? •    Why does engagement plummet as learners advance in school? •    What can we do to reverse this trend? Check out this video from Warren Berger, author of A More Beautiful Question.

On his website, Warren Berger shares: In his groundbreaking 2014 bestseller A MORE BEAUTIFUL QUESTION, journalist and innovation expert Warren Berger shows that one of the most powerful forces for igniting change in business and in our daily lives is a simple, under-appreciated tool—one that has been available to us since childhood. Questioning—deeply, imaginatively, “beautifully”—can help us identify and solve problems, come up with game-changing ideas, and pursue fresh opportunities. So why are we often reluctant to ask “Why?” Berger’s surprising findings reveal that even though children start out asking hundreds of questions a day, questioning “falls off a cliff” as kids enter school.
