Through the assigned readings for this week, I learned that teachers typically ask 300-400 questions per day. If we are asking that many questions, doesn't it make sense that we put a lot of thought into how we are asking these questions? If we are taking that much time out of day in the classroom, we should make sure that our questions are effective.
I found a video that sums up perfectly the ABC's of Effective Teaching.

As future educators, we need to continue to think about how we will use questions in our classroom. It is my hope that I can take the pointers from this video as well as from the reading and learn to pose questions that will not only make sure the students are paying attention, but also to make sure that they are taking what the are learning it and applying it in a way that makes sense to them.
