Socrates Had It Right!
November 11, 2009
Good salespeople know that asking questions is critical to the selling process.
Teachers who are on top of their game know that asking questions is critical to the educational process.
Socrates, the famous Greek Philosopher who lived from 469-399 B.C., noted his students learned more when he addressed them with open ended questions. Socratic teaching is a methodology, a critical thinking technique that enables students to mentally construct, organize and visualize the potential outcome of a thought, before acting upon it.
Questioning, is perhaps, the most accurate mental compass we can give students as they travel down life’s road.
