Techniques for Good Questioning

• Plan your questions – Write in lesson plans– Readiness level, interest or learning profile

of students– Match the question with the level of

thinking you expect of the students

Page 11: Questioning

• Implement your questions – Ask you question before calling on a

student for a response– Allow students “wait time” and “think time”– Call on boys and girls equally– Require student to raise their hands to

answer– Involve as many students as possible in a

Q-A discussion session
