Training in the Effective Use of Questioning Techniques: Learning to Question, Questioning to Learn

"I know I am already a good teacher, but I cannot wait to get back to my classroom on Monday to put today’s lessons into practice.  What a great conference."                          Sereina Lake, 4th Grade teacher

"All of our teachers need (and will get) this training. Not a wasted minute.  Thank you."   Annette Lessee, Curriculum supervisor Grades 7-12

Effective use of questions in the classroom stimulates learning. Unfortunately, questioning is often one of the missing pieces in teacher training. Although research shows that the average teacher asks between 100 and 200 questions each day, the types of questions asked are often not the type that facilitate learning. In this workshop, we train teachers to use questioning techniques in their classroom to increase students’ level of thinking and to help them acquire thoughtful literacy.

You will learn:
- to separate core and processing questions
- the key elements of clarification, focus and openness
- placement and timing of questions
- how to increase the cognitive level of questions
- judging wait-time
- how to structure and place higher cognitive questions
- the 6 types of processing questions and how they are used in the classroom  ...and more

A conference for teachers on the evidence-based strategy that is the fastest and most effective method to improve achievement and increase test scores
