**Session is from 8:30 am. to 3:30 pm.
In this session you can expect to learn how questioning makes the difference and moves thinking to a higher level. You will become more intentional about focusing on high-level thinking in all subject areas throughout the day and will walk away with strategies for enhancing students’ critical thinking skills. The session will include hands-on strategies that are fun and successful in the reading/language arts classroom. Your students will become better thinkers and problem-solvers. They will learn to synthesize, analyze, and evaluate information from literary and expository texts. The scientific-based research used in this session is from the work of Jim Delisle, Howard Gardner, Nancy Johnson, and Anderson & Krathwohl, (2001); Revised Bloom’s Taxonomy. This research says that teachers who are good questioners motivate their students, stimulate high-level thinking, encourage creativity, and enhance self-concept in their students and themselves. Teachers Standards: 1C, 1D, 1E, 3A.
