Questioning cultivates student engagement and drives instruction throughout the learning process. It is a vital part of science and engineering. Questions challenge student thinking at key points within a lesson or unit of study to connect concepts and drive investigations. Student thinking deepens as they integrate the skill of questioning into each lesson. As students interact with the world through questioning and collaboration with others, they build understanding and learn to answer questions and how to construct them. The model presented here—Powerful Practices—takes questioning in the classroom to the next level while emphasizing the interconnected nature of instruction. Teacher background information, standards, assessment, and video links are provided. This book selection also includes the Table of Contents, Resources, References, and Index.
