The Power of a Good Prompt: Effective Questioning Techniques to Build Community and Critical Thinking
facilitated by Lara
Webinar description
Why do teachers thrive on dynamic classroom discussion but often find themselves delivering one-sided lectures? Join us for an interactive workshop on effective prompting techniques that get students thinking critically and creatively about challenging topics. The perfect prompt can help us set the right tone at the beginning of a lesson, generate curiosity in the middle of a lesson, and encourage community building beyond the classroom. After reviewing some examples of paradoxical prompts, workshop participants will have the opportunity to brainstorm powerful prompts to use in the first week of class.
