Encore Presentation – Now That’s A Good Question!

Educational discussion with MyEdExpert founder Suzy Pepper Rollins

Now That’s A Good Question! A Conversation with Erik Francis Are questioning techniques one of the keys to getting students to go further and dig deeper into concepts? According to our guest, Erik Francis, YES! The author of Now That’s a Good Question! How to Promote Cognitive Rigor Through Classroom Questioning (ASCD) shares how his students used to robotically repeat information back to him…without even the courtesy of a citation. However, he discovered that when he posed a thought-provoking question, things changed. Faces lit up, conversations were sparked…everything changed. He is seriously a master of questioning and shares the tremendous outcomes from viewing questions not as assessment items, but as beautifully impactful instructional tools. • Link to Erik’s website • Erik on Twitter • Erik’s article on projects vs PBL
