Questions, questions, and questions

The use of questions has changed my teaching.  The use of Essential Questions has guided and focused my teaching and improved student learning.  The use of higher-order teacher questions has helped me differentiate and build knowledge.

I LOVE good questions.  If I can develop good questions to use daily, I know that my lessons will be successful.  Creating and developing effective questions is challenging.  Most of my time and effort goes into this process.

ESSENNTIAL QUESTIONS:  Universal and timeless questions that can be  answered (in a minimal form) at the beginning of the Unit of Study and at the end of the Unit of Study with greater knowledge and depth of insight.

Higher-Order Teacher Questions:  More specific and precise questions that help build to the Essential Question (the goal is that they be higher on the Bloom's Scale).
