The TQE Method

As I dig into the assignment of my new semester, I learned the TQE Method. Let’s take a look of what is TQE

1. STUDENTS COMPLETE ASSIGNED READING AT HOME

2. SMALL GROUP DISCUSSIONS (15 MINUTES)

When they arrive in class, students get into small groups, where they have 15 minutes to share thoughts, lingering questions, and epiphanies (TQEs) they have about the reading. Early in the year, Thompson provides stems to help students generate these (see below), encouraging them to move from the more simplistic ideas on the left to the more complex ones on the right.

3. TQES ON THE BOARD

4. CLASS DISCUSSION OF TQES
