"This strategy relies on a series of questions to guide students' thinking toward high levels of rigor and complexity. The effectiveness of questioning depends on the rigor of questions used, making teacher pre-planning and assessment of questions critical. When questions are of high rigor and directly related to learning materials and desired academic outcomes, student thinking is challenged and new understanding is more likely to be achieved." Bold School, Kieschnick, p. 78
Quick Tips:
Quick Tips:
Teachers ask between 300-400 questions everyday and even as many as 120 per hour. (Vogler, 2008)
Remember: what gets scripted gets asked. The goal of questions is not to get kids to answer; it’s to get kids to think.
Make sure questions address multiple levels of cognition.
Put scripted questions into technologies beforehand.
Adjust Socratic Methods to include all students - have the inner circle turn to face the outer circle to have conversations based on the scripted questions; rotate pairs after each round
