Socrates described himself as the "gadfly" of Athens, someone who continually bothered Athenian citizens with his incessant questioning. Socrates' goal with these questions was to spur people onto greater understanding and self-reflection--and this is ultimately the goal of the teacher imitating Socrates in the classroom through Socratic questioning.

In this episode, Isaac Jennings and Winston Brady talk through the idea of Socratic questioning, as well as ways of inserting such questions into your lessons and thinking of such questions on the fly.

Isaac Jennings teaches logic and philosophy at Thales Academy Apex. Mr. Jennings earned a B.A. from North Greenville University, a M.Div. from Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary, and a M.A. in Philosophy of Religion from Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary. Mr. Jennings teaches Trivium.
