Abstract

As much as we are accustomed to answering students’ questions, how this is done can radically influence the amount of thinking that goes on in the classroom. Our answers should stretch each mind, extend students’ thinking and also further access to all learners, inviting them into the conversation. In addition, posing a well-planned jump-start can set the ideal tone the minute students walk in the room. Come, and question your questions! *OPTIONAL - Participants may bring a lesson or warm-up used in their classroom*
