In this issue, I read the section, “From the Editor’s Desk,” written by Patty McGinnis.&amp;nbsp; She wrote an article entitled, “Helping Students Make Sense.” Creating a classroom in which the emphasis shifts the learner role from “learning about” to “figuring out” requires students to engage in the collaborative task of sensemaking.&amp;nbsp; The type of classroom discussion is critical to sensemaking.&amp;nbsp; STEM Teaching Tools, at: https://stemteachingtools.org/tools can help you plan for student discussions.
