  4. Scaffolds extend the range of the worker

  5. Goal is Productive success

  6. Robust questions Prompts Cues Direct explanation and modeling

  7. Robust questions Prompts Cues Direct explanation and modeling

  8. Robust Questions to Check for Understanding

  9. Teacher Poses a Question Student responds

  10. Elicitation Elaboration Clarifying Inventive Divergent Heuristic 6 Types

  11. Questions should be used to assess what initial instruction has stuck, and what hasn’t

  12. Elicitation Elaboration Clarifying Inventive Divergent Heuristic Most Common

  13. Often described as reproductive questions “Who was the first president of the United States?” “What are the three kinds of atomic particles?” “When did the main character decide to leave home?” “Where did the Confederate Army surrender to the Union Army?” “Why do caterpillars make a chrysalis?” “How does Marty get food to feed Shiloh?”

  14. Draws on the first three levels of Bloom’s Taxonomy

  15. 85% of novice teachers’ questions are recognition and recall Tienken, Goldberg, & DiRocco, 2009

  16. Experienced teachers asked this type of question 68% of the time Tienken, Goldberg, & DiRocco, 2009

  17. Teacher: What is a nocturnal animal? Student: An animal that stays awake at night. Teacher: Good. What is a diurnal animal? I-R-E

  18. It’s a problem when there’s nothing to follow the initial question.

  19. Robust questions Prompts Cues Direct explanation and modeling

  20. Teacher: What is a nocturnal animal? Student: An animal that stays awake at night. Teacher: Tell me more about that. Does a nocturnal animal have special characteristics? Student: Well, it doesn’t sleep a lot. Probe

  21. Teacher: What is a nocturnal animal? Student: An animal that stays awake at night. Teacher: Tell me more about that. Does a nocturnal animal have special characteristics? Student: Well, it doesn’t sleep a lot. Misconception

  22. Elicitation Elaboration Clarifying Inventive Divergent Heuristic Most Common

  23. Elaboration and Clarificationquestions invite students to expand on answers

  24. Elaboration questions probe “Tell me more about what you mean by that.” “What would you do next?” “What does this mean to you?” “And what happened after that?” “How did you feel about that?” “How would that work?” Open-ended questioning technique

  25. Clarifying questions return the student to the text “How do you know that is true?” “Could you give me an example of that?” “You said tornadoes are more dangerous than earthquakes. What are your reasons for that?” “Why do you think Swimmy would be a good friend?”

  26. Elicitation Elaboration Clarifying Inventive Divergent Heuristic Most Common

  27. Draws on the top three levels of Bloom’s Taxonomy

  28. What When Where Who Which Why How Suppose Justify Example To move to higher-order questions Use Less Of Use More Of

  29. Prompting for Cognitive and Metacognitive Thinking

  30. Teacher Poses a Question Student responds Is the answer appropriate? Yes No Probe to elicit more information Prompt to elicit background knowledge Focus on cognitive/metacognitive

  31. Questioning is about assessment Prompting is about doing

  32. Background knowledge prompts invite students to use what they know to resolve problems

  33. Teacher: What is a nocturnal animal? Student: An animal that stays awake at night. Teacher: Tell me more about that. Does a nocturnal animal have special characteristics? Student: Well, it doesn’t sleep a lot. Teacher: I’m thinking of those pictures we saw of the great horned owl and the slow loris in the daytime and at night. Does your answer still work? PROMPT

  34. Process or Procedure Prompts To perform a specific task

  35. Reflective prompt knowingaboutknowing “What did you learn today?”

  36. Heuristic prompt Informal and less defined “Make a graph so you can see it.”

  37. How do you find parking?

  38. Heuristic prompts in reading

  39. Cues to Shift Attention

  40. Teacher Poses a Question Student responds Is the answer appropriate? Yes No Prompt to elicit background knowledge Focus on cognitive/metacognitive Probe to elicit more information Is the answer appropriate? Is the answer appropriate? Yes Yes No No Pose new question Cue to shift Attention to Information source Pose new question

  41. Cues Shift attention to sources of information More directandspecificthan prompts

  42. the expert commentator sees things you don’t cues do the same for novices Attention grows with competence

  43. 6 Types Visual Physical Gestural Positional Verbal Environmental

  44. Visual Cues Direct attention to print Circling, highlighting, underlining passages

  45. Physical Cues The most overt Hand-over-hand; touching elbow

  46. Gestural cues do not involve touching are purposeful and precise

  47. Positional cues rely on movement

  48. Verbal Cues “Watch out. This is where lots of people make a mistake.” Emphasis Cues Repeating Intonation Pausing

  49. Proximity Environmental print Manipulatives Interactive whiteboards Environmental Cues
