Promoting Rigor Through Higher Level Questioning equips teachers with effective questioning strategies and:
Challenges students to think critically, as well as explore their curiosity and imagination. Explores the power of questioning to transform the classroom. Utilizes Bloom's taxonomy as the key to formulating higher level questions. Includes questioning strategies for students' assignments, assessments, day-to-day activities, and classroom discussions. Helps make lively, in-depth dialogue the norm. Teachers must create a culture in which students expect and can engage in rigorous, higher level questioning and discussions, and are comfortable enough that they can ask those questions of one another and themselves.
The book shows one how to ask meaningful questions of their students. Learn to identify good lines of questioning to make sure students understand what they're learning, not just regurgitating facts back at you (which, in some circumstances, is important as well). This book could be used in All classrooms (pre-K all the way through 12th and beyond).
