Promoting Rigor Through Higher Level Questioning

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.
