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).
