Effective questioning strategies and appropriate wait times for responses are core components of teaching methods that build higher-order thinking skills and contribute to enhanced learning and academic achievement.
Using a framework they call the 6Ps (prepare the question, present the question, prompt student thinking, process student responses, polish questioning practices, and partner with students) the authors have created this new comprehensive guide to using quality questions in the classroom. With an emphasis on staff development and improved student learning and thinking outcomes, the book features key questioning strategies; checklists for classroom applications; Q (cue) cards that teachers can use as daily classroom aids; sample undefinedlecturetteundefined scripts teachers can use for implementation; evaluation methods, including videotaping and peer-to-peer feedback; practitioner voices discussing the method in action; and essential resources for follow-up and further training.
In addition, it includes QR codes linked to video clips. This new edition builds on the original, which was published over a decade ago, extending and expanding it in consideration of significant new research; monumental change in the educational landscape; and the authors' own learning with and from classroom teachers."
