weaknesses, and learning styles

ANALYSIS OF STUDENT WORK

Used with individuals, small

groups, or the entire class.

Asking higher-order questions:

“why” and “how.”

Use “wait time” to allow some

effective thinking

Help the teacher discern the level

and extent of the students’

understanding.

STRATEGIC QUESTIONING

Ask a question, and students

write down their answers. 

Students are then placed in pairs

to discuss their responses.

Teachers are able to move around

and listen to discussions, gaining

insight into an individual’s levels

of understanding. 

Let some share their discussion
