  9. “ In education it isn't how much you have committed to memory or even how much you know. It's being able to differentiate between what you do know and what you don't. It's knowing where to go to find out what you need to know and it's knowing how to use the information you get. William Feather William A. Feather was an American publisher and author, based in Cleveland, Ohio. Born in Jamestown, New York, Feather relocated with his family to Cleveland in 1903. ”

  10. Characteristics of Good Questioning Q —Quality Don’t waste time on questions that are unclear, confusing, or irrelevant. U —Understanding Make sure your questions lead to an understanding of content. E —Encourage Multiple Responses Questions with more than one answer lead to higher levels of thinking. S —Spark New Questions If your question encourages students to ask more questions, you’ve stuck gold.

  11. Wow, these really support rigor in my classroom! T —Thought-Provoking Prompting students to think is the truest aim of good questions. I —Individualized Customize questions to your content and to your students. O —Ownership Shifted to Students Give students the opportunity to create their own questions. N —Narrow and Broad Some questions are focused, some more open-ended. Use a balance. S —Success Building Remember the goal of all questioning; successful student learning.
