This week I learned the equation, PQ + CQ > IQ. In other words, passion and curiosity are better than ones intelligence. Through reading articles as well as watching a video, I was able to explore more about being a questioner for life, as well as, PQ, CQ and IQ. One quote that really stuck with me while I was exploring was from the article, PQ + CQ > IQ every time, by Janice Dickson. She quoted Thomas Friedman stating that, "while someone with high a IQ’s becomes frustrated when they don’t get the answer right – those with a high PQ and CQ will never stop in a world where high motivation is so important" (2015). As an educator it is important that I express passion to my students and show my teaching passion through successful lessons and support. As an educator I should also stay curious. Teaching is evolving and as times change I need to continue to be curious and express the fact that I am a life long learner. To present these passions and curiosity it can be important to continue to ask questions and dig a little bit deeper. I took the articles, video and new information to create something wonderful. I felt that there was a lot of information that I had to encompass so I picked out the ideas that I thought were most useful and supported my passion and curiosity as an individual and teacher. Take a look at my Google slide presentation here: Something Wonderful. References:
