When you question your students do their answers leave you amazed, amused or aghast? Research shows that 60-80 percent of academic classroom learning time is spent on questioning, and therefore excellent questioning is the single most important “process” strategy in differentiation. As you grow in questioning prowess, so does the quality of the thinking in your classroom. This workshop is designed to give you tools, trigger words, and hands-on time to design questions that can be used immediately and effectively in your classroom. Come prepared to laugh, think and create!
