UbD Part 3: Essential Questions – Opening Doors to Student Understanding LIMITED
Friday May 9, 2025 1:30pm - 2:45pm CST
Legacy Commons
A good essential question serves as a doorway for engaging student inquiry, helps teachers ‘uncover’ the big ideas of curriculum content and leads students to deeper understanding. We will explore critical questions including: 
  • What makes a question ‘essential’? 
  • If the content represents the ‘answers’ then what were the questions that led to content knowledge in the first place? 
  • How can Essential Questions be used to guide inquiry and deeper learning? 
Participants will learn how to craft essential questions and get examples of excellent discipline specific Essential Questions that can be used across year levels and units.
