This document discusses the skills and approaches needed to empower students and build strong communities of learners. It advocates exploring different ways to build background knowledge through stations, books, videos, and other hands-on activities. Students can then practice questioning and discovering on their own through guides, projects, blogs, and social media. The goal is to teach students skills like communication, understanding, and compromise so they can become lifelong learners.
