Learning to Question, Questioning to Learn Roundtable #3 Nov. 30, 2011

admin — Fri, 21 Oct 2011 13:44:17 +0000

A benchmark of effective teaching is the kinds of questions your students ask. This interactive session will demonstrate how the use of effective questioning practices can transform classrooms into ones that advance student thinking, learning & achievement. Participants will examine their current practices in order to close the gap between theory & actual practice. Through vignettes, role playing and video snippets, participants will explore and practice questioning behaviors and techniques needed for the 21st century.

Goal: To understand how the art of questioning can foster an environment for inquiry in an IB classroom.

Objectives: Participants will learn how to:

1) create quality questions using Bloom’s cognitive levels
2) promote equitable participation of all students in classroom questioning
3) use wait time to benefit students and teacher and invite student elaboration
4) assist students in developing correct, deeper understandings
5) create a classroom culture that encourages and supports student questioning
6) teach students to generate questions for learning
