  3. The Seven Habits of Highly Effective Questioners • Asking fewer questions • Asking better questions • Questioning for depth • Questioning for breadth • Using wait time • Selecting students • Giving useful feedback

  4. Asking Fewer Questions • The typical teacher asks hundreds of questions a day.

  5. Asking Better Questions • 70 to 95% of the questions that teacher ask are considered lower-order questions.

  6. Questioning for Depth • Probing questions focus less on the subject and more on individual students. Examples: • What are your reasons for selecting that answer? • Could you give us an example of that?

  7. Questioning for Breadth • All questions fall into one of two categories: convergent and divergent. • Convergent--one right answer • Divergent--have more than one correct answer

  8. Using Wait Time • Research indicates that in the typical classroom teachers wait less than a ___________ after asking a question before calling on a student.

  9. Selecting Students • Not all students are called on equally.
