This guide, developed for the Common Core Leadership in Mathematics project at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, focuses on enhancing conversations within educational settings. It emphasizes three critical skills for fostering thinking: listening, paraphrasing, and using effective probes. The material explores different types of paraphrases and the structure of mediational questions, aiming to deepen understanding and support teacher development. It encourages educational personnel to share insights and refine their questioning techniques to maximize student engagement and learning outcomes.

Transcription de la présentation
  1. Probes/Mediational Questions Learning Focused Conversations May, 2013 This material was developed for use by participants in the Common Core Leadership in Mathematics (CCLM^2) project through the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. Use by school district personnel to support learning of its teachers and staff is permitted provided appropriate acknowledgement of its source. Use by others is prohibited except by prior written permission.

  2. Three Critical Skills to Support Thinking in a Conversation Listening Blocks Paraphrases Probes

  3. Quick Review Take a few minutes, share with a table partner ideas you remember about paraphrasing.

  4. Paraphrases: 3 Types 3 Intentions • Acknowledge and Clarify (pg. 54) • So, you’re wondering if… • You’re thinking that… • Summarize and Organize (pg. 55) • First you’re going to…, then you will… • So, to recap you have three… • Shift Focus (pg. 55) • Shifting up (goals, beliefs) • Shifting down (example, choice)

  5. Goals To deepen understanding of the structure of mediational probes/questions. To provide an opportunity to revise closed questions into mediational questions that support thinking.

  6. Attributes of Questions Closed Questions Interrogative; can you, did you , could you Would you consider …. Mediational Questions (pg. 58 first paragraph)

  7. PROBES/QUESTIONS (pg. 58) INVITATION COGNITION COGNITION INVITATION INVITATION TOPIC COGNITION COGNITION INVITATION

  8. Structure of Probes

  9. Positive Presuppositions (invitation) As you reflect on your lesson, …. Thinking back to that event, …. As an effective teacher, …. As you planned this lesson, …. Reflecting on student learning, ….

  10. Negative Suppositions/Closed Questions What three things went well? What are you going to change? What were the challenges in the lesson? What is your formative assessment?

  11. Elements of Paraphrases and Probes Attending Fully Approachable Voice Plural Forms Exploratory Language

  12. Revising Questions Will you have your students work in small groups? Will all your students be able to solve the problem? Are the students going to use calculators?

  13. Structure of Probes (pg. 58)

  14. Reflection Take a moment and think about tonight’s session, then write a probe that you are willing to share with us as a group of leaders of mathematics.
