As teachers we want to help our students, and often we do that through questioning. In this episode Pam and Kim discuss how maybe there isn't a perfect list of questions, but it's our pattern of questioning that matters.
Talking Points

  • We love hearing your suggestions
  • Focusing on a list of questions vs a pattern of questioning
  • Funneling pattern of questioning vs. Focusing pattern of questioning
  • Focusing is more like a conversation rather than a list of questions
  • To focus students you need to know your content, know your kids
  • Examples through the grade levels
