Questioning

During the Learning at Schools conference, we attended a breakout session on Questioning with Trevor Bond. This session highlighted a need within our school to improve our childrens questioning abilities and skills. We have since incorporated "Questioning" as one of our Ministry goals for 2008. We are holding professional development for whole staff and presenting our approach and goals to the Board of Trustees to keep them informed of our foci. We are using Trevor Bonds questioning rubric as a basis and will measure our teaching successes within the school by generating baseline data to work with. Here is the rubric that we will be using.
