Asking Fewer Questions
The typical teacher asks hundreds of questions a day.
Asking Better Questions 70 to 95% of the questions that
teacher ask are considered lower-order questions.
Questioning for Depth Probing questions focus less on
the subject and more on individual students. Examples:
What are your reasons for selecting that answer?
Could you give us an example of that?
Questioning for Breadth All questions fall into one of two
categories: convergent and divergent.
Convergent--one right answer
Divergent--have more than one correct answer
Using Wait Time Research indicates that in the
typical classroom teachers wait less than a ___________ after asking a question before calling on a student.
Selecting Students Not all students are called on
equally.
Giving Useful Feedback
Teacher feedback generally lacks specificity.
