Research has shown that many teachers do not know how to ask questions in such a way as to get students to logically proceed through an entire lesson, and instead see questioning mostly as just a means of student assessment (e.g., “What do they know?") or student engagement (e.g., "What do you find interesting?"). In short, questioning is not traditionally used to teach, as much as it is to assess and engage. Highly Effective Questioning helps teachers structure their questioning through a process of seven steps of questioning. It also helps to improve students’ attitude, too. Through a set of behavioral practices that are observable in the classroom, teachers can change the way students react to questioning and create an environment of high expectations. Highly Effective Questioning is a proven, practical, and powerful way to improve how teachers engage students through the use of questioning strategies to develop higher order thinking skills.
