ASCD

A good question is classroom gold. Researchers estimate that anywhere from 50 to 80 percent of instructional time is spent on questioning, so imagine the return on investment for fine- tuning this popular instructional tool.

Here, educators share their secrets for crafting meaningful, higher- order questions, for getting students to write their own questions, and for putting inquiry at the heart of everything.

Features
