A couple of simple teacher quotes I picked up today that for me exemplified the teacher behaviours that are need to do this. I think they encourage ownership of the learning/ problem/ task by the student.
"maybe we could work with you on that one"
"Do we need to table this now?"
"Have we decided?"
"What do we need?"
"I'll do the ones in bold, can you source the rest?"
" A community needs common goals"
Following a frankly frivolous suggestion about a talent contest performance, teacher demonstrated reserving judgement by adding it to the list. He also reminded students that they were trying to generate ideas so that they could then make a good choice.
and from students
"During an expedition you really just want to concentrate on that"
"What are we doing after our presentations?"
"Can I work on my script during this session- i really need to make some amendments."
