Teaching Strategy

Brainstorming

Brainstorming is a process used for generating many ideas; and / or demonstrating the range of prior knowledge on a topic. Students will learn to share ideas and accept ideas of others without making judgements. This strategy sends a clear message that students' ideas and input are valued. It is the cornerstone of the risk-taking and creative and critical classroom.

  • Suspending judgement
  • Taking turns


Key Benefit:
