Quality Questioning: Research-Based Practice to Engage Every Learner

Use effective questions to advance student thinking, learning, and achievement! Teachers question their students to advance thinking and learning. But what if they're asking the wrong questions? In Quality Questioning, authors Jackie Walsh and Beth Sattes provide an in-depth look at how quality questions can transform classrooms. Developers of the QUILT framework, Walsh and Sattes show that teachers already know how to ask effective questions, but sometimes find it difficult to change their questioning behaviors. Based on two decades of research on teacher effectiveness, they offer strategies that engage all students in the teacher's questions and prompt students to generate their own questions. In turn, these superior questions will enrich students, their school's learning community, and any instructor's own professional development. Quality Questioning includes: A complete framework for preparing questions, presenting questions, prompting student responses, processing student responses, teaching students to generate questions, and reflecting on questioning practice; Checklists for classroom applications; Reproducibles, rubrics, resources, evaluation tools, and more.
