Episode 19: Wonder Questions — What Makes a Good Friend?
In this episode of Beyond the Bell, Ms. Arzt and Mr. Pina discuss TIME Magazine’s release of its list of the Top 100 TV Shows of the 21st Century before turning to the focus of the episode: Wonder Questions.
This week’s Wonder Question is: What makes a good friend? We explore the importance of asking students questions that do not necessarily have one right answer and how these conversations can encourage reflection, perspective-taking, and deeper connections with students.
We also hear directly from students across the district as they share their own answers to the question: What makes a good friend?
Join us for another conversation that encourages us to slow down, wonder, listen, and learn from one another.
