From Blooms Taxonomy to Costa Questions there are many rubrics to help teachers ask engaging questions in class.  Asking and answering higher order questions is the goal of all classrooms.  This course aims to help you reflect on the types of questions you ask in class and look at practical ways in which children can become more actively involved in asking their own questions.

 

All our 3-hour online workshops include: 

• practical classroom-ready ideas and resources
• small group size to facilitate interaction and full engagement
• group/pair work and discussion with the tutor
• pdf of the course booklet 

 

Course Outcomes:

• You will return to class more aware of the questions you ask, the thinking time the children have and ready to hand over the question power to the class!
