A1-On all concepts even those where the SE is a lower level verb questioning can be used to move them to HOT. Get them used to ⬆️ leav #txed

KelleyJAndrews - Moderator Feb 24 @ 9:42 PM EST

@cybraryman1 that is my favorite quote!!!!!!! #txed

MsAsAwesomeK Feb 24 @ 9:42 PM EST

A1-Get then used to the higher level thinking. Use questioning even on lower level SEs to get them to thinking in the higher levels. #txed

LnChase81 Feb 24 @ 9:43 PM EST

@MsAsAwesomeK such as why? Can you tell me more? How do you know? #txed

PrincipalOgg - Moderator Feb 24 @ 9:43 PM EST

A1-Always felt that the question "Why" was always an important Q to ask. Starts them looking at the process first #TXed

TinneyTroy Feb 24 @ 9:44 PM EST

A1: Daily opportunities for relevant content that engages and challenges with rigorous activities. #txed

jodiforeman Feb 24 @ 9:45 PM EST

A1- I have "Keep calm and beware the WHY?" hung on my wall. Ss know that I am always wanting them to go deeper in thought. #txed #expected

LnChase81 Feb 24 @ 9:45 PM EST

@PrincipalOgg yes! There lies the justification piece. not only the answer is .... It's this is why it is. That's the higher level. #txed

TXEDMod - Moderator Feb 24 @ 9:46 PM EST

Question 2 is coming up! #TXed

MsAsAwesomeK Feb 24 @ 9:46 PM EST

@LnChase81 👍🏻 My reasoning is I've seen Ks explain their learning in talks and discussions &then are able to back it up with evidence. #txed

TXEDMod - Moderator Feb 24 @ 9:47 PM EST

Q2: How do you ensure your questioning is differentiated to meet needs of and involve all learners (ie ESL/ELL, GT, SpEd) #TXed

PrincipalOgg - Moderator Feb 24 @ 9:47 PM EST

@Tommyspall use to have a Q wall where he would allow his students to post a Q. Later in the week they would try and find the answer #TXed

LnChase81 Feb 24 @ 9:47 PM EST

@jodiforeman Keep calm and EMBRACE the why! The why is your friend! #txed

KelleyJAndrews - Moderator Feb 24 @ 9:47 PM EST

A1 Real world, Blooms, Samr, whatever I can do to get them thinking! Question the Questions! lol #txed

MsAsAwesomeK Feb 24 @ 9:47 PM EST

@LnChase81 @PrincipalOgg I like why or why not? #txed

TinneyTroy Feb 24 @ 9:48 PM EST

A1: Ss must also learn to build their endurance for high rigor tests. #txed

maramdelgado Feb 24 @ 9:48 PM EST

Being able to explain the how and why is sooo important! Makes Ss thinking visible. @LnChase81 @PrincipalOgg #txed

LnChase81 Feb 24 @ 9:48 PM EST

@MsAsAwesomeK absolutely! Those easy questions I listed are a great way to further engage them and get them thinking! #txed

A2 tough question! Really making me think! #txed

PrincipalOgg - Moderator Feb 24 @ 9:49 PM EST

Think this is were a key relationship part comes in to play. Need to know your students first #TXed

LnChase81 Feb 24 @ 9:50 PM EST

A2 question scaffolding - start low and build up. Ask questions and specifically (but randomly) target Ss those as are designed for #txed

TinneyTroy Feb 24 @ 9:50 PM EST

A2: Choice is the easiest way to differentiate the questions for learning. Let them choose to discover, make, and own the learning. #txed

jodiforeman Feb 24 @ 9:50 PM EST

I can't retweet of favorite this enough. It is imperative to have know your Ss. #txed https://t.co/oLAiaDcZCJ

PrincipalOgg - Moderator Feb 24 @ 9:49 PM EST

Think this is were a key relationship part comes in to play. Need to know your students first #TXed

maramdelgado Feb 24 @ 9:50 PM EST

A2: provide open ended questions; allow for different strategies in responses i.e. sentences, models, drawing #txed

MsAsAwesomeK Feb 24 @ 9:51 PM EST

A2-You have to know your Ss and which guiding questions to use to help them climb the levels. #txed

PrincipalOgg - Moderator Feb 24 @ 9:51 PM EST

Challenging thing to do, but sometimes just rephrasing the Qs can help. Help guide them #TXed

LnChase81 Feb 24 @ 9:52 PM EST

@PrincipalOgg yes, but also need to have that awkward wait time to give them think time to formulate a response #txed

jodiforeman Feb 24 @ 9:52 PM EST

A2- have them not only answer the question, but ask the questions as well. #txed

KelleyJAndrews - Moderator Feb 24 @ 9:52 PM EST

@PrincipalOgg oh yes! rephrasing!!!! I had to do that today. :) #txed

jodiforeman Feb 24 @ 9:53 PM EST

@LnChase81 @PrincipalOgg You have to practice wait time. It is the hardest lesson you will teach. #txed

PrincipalOgg - Moderator Feb 24 @ 9:53 PM EST

Why not allow the students to ask questions to each other. Sometimes they do better than I do #TXed

KelleyJAndrews - Moderator Feb 24 @ 9:53 PM EST

@LnChase81 yes, yes, and YES! :) #txed

vhsaldana Feb 24 @ 9:53 PM EST

A2: T's have to "know" their students. Inside and out. Only then can you begin to meet "their" needs. #TXed

SethJRutledge Feb 24 @ 9:54 PM EST

A2 I try to use my Qs as diagnostics more than anything. The Ss individual answer shows their thought process. #txed

KelleyJAndrews - Moderator Feb 24 @ 9:54 PM EST

I even tell the students to question me! :) #txed

PrincipalOgg - Moderator Feb 24 @ 9:55 PM EST

@jodiforeman @LnChase81 I give them a good amount of wait time then rephrase it in a different way. #TXed

TXEDMod - Moderator Feb 24 @ 9:55 PM EST

Question 3 is coming up! #TXed

LnChase81 Feb 24 @ 9:55 PM EST

@jodiforeman oh yes! Once I videoed it and watched later so I could see how long that wait time was. #txed

vhsaldana Feb 24 @ 9:55 PM EST

@PrincipalOgg Run a lesson like Jeopardy. See what kind of questions kids can come up with. How's that for engaging? #TXed

LnChase81 Feb 24 @ 9:55 PM EST

@jodiforeman It felt like forever in the T seat but was truly only 40 secs! #txed

KelleyJAndrews - Moderator Feb 24 @ 9:55 PM EST

@LnChase81 that's a good thing! :) #txed growing dendrites every Wednesday night!

SethJRutledge Feb 24 @ 9:55 PM EST

A2 cont This way, I can ensure that my next q to them either clarifies if needed or extends. Extension can include asking why or how #txed

TXEDMod - Moderator Feb 24 @ 9:56 PM EST

Q3: How are you using essential questions in your instruction? What value do these add to questioning? #TXed

PrincipalOgg - Moderator Feb 24 @ 9:56 PM EST

Oh we are cooking now folks! Keep it up #TXed

KelleyJAndrews - Moderator Feb 24 @ 9:57 PM EST

A3 I have given the students the answer. They have to give me the question! :) #txed

vhsaldana Feb 24 @ 9:57 PM EST

A3: They are part of our Lesson Frames. If we don't know what we are after, we don't know if we got there. #fundamental5 #TXed

jodiforeman Feb 24 @ 9:57 PM EST

A3- all of our units are guided by essential questions. It helps guide me and gives a great starching point for Ss. #txed

LnChase81 Feb 24 @ 9:58 PM EST

@PrincipalOgg @coachlafollett & I were talking about this! Ss respond with Qs in discussion board-let Ss respond and redirect if need #txed

KelleyJAndrews - Moderator Feb 24 @ 9:58 PM EST

A3 Plan the questions into my lesson plans! #txed

TinneyTroy Feb 24 @ 9:58 PM EST

A3: Is there a lesson without an EQ? All instructional segments must point back to the EQ or SE. #txed

SethJRutledge Feb 24 @ 9:59 PM EST

A3 EQare the guide. Everything else is a step on the path. The challenge is to scaffold enough leading to where Ss end on ahah moment #txed

KelleyJAndrews - Moderator Feb 24 @ 9:59 PM EST

@vhsaldana agree 100% Victor. Keep the end in mind! #txed

vhsaldana Feb 24 @ 9:59 PM EST

A3: only caution would be that T's have to teach essential questions to the rigor and complexity that it will be tested on STAAR. #TXed

jodiforeman Feb 24 @ 9:59 PM EST

@KelleyJAndrews I do this every morning as warm up. "Answer of the Day" and Ss love it! Get to see how my inflection changes answer. #txed

vhsaldana Feb 24 @ 9:59 PM EST

@TinneyTroy so true. Otherwise, it's a waste of time. #txed

PrincipalOgg - Moderator Feb 24 @ 10:00 PM EST

A3-They are the seeds to grow inquiry and simulate thought #TXed

LnChase81 Feb 24 @ 10:00 PM EST

A3 ts using essential Qs as their culminating virtual discussion. Ss start what they know/want to know, finish with what they learned #txed

CoachLaFollett Feb 24 @ 10:00 PM EST

@LnChase81 @PrincipalOgg They have ownership and learn inquiry skills. Plus I find its a great assessment tool as well. #txed

iTeachHarts Feb 24 @ 10:01 PM EST

T keeps students on the path, but Ss determine the amount of steps needed. #TXed https://t.co/THbnXXS38Q

SethJRutledge Feb 24 @ 10:01 PM EST

@vhsaldana Absolutely. We have to get EQs right or they can limit Ss. Being intentional and rigorous with EQs is a must #txed

TinneyTroy Feb 24 @ 10:02 PM EST

@TinneyTroy thanks for popping in Troy! anytime :) #txed

SethJRutledge Feb 24 @ 10:03 PM EST

@iTeachHarts I agree! If we neglect\ignore where they are, what can we truly accomplish? #txed

PrincipalOgg - Moderator Feb 24 @ 10:03 PM EST

Essential Q can help guide the steps students take in the learning. You plant the seed and help it grow #TXed

jodiforeman Feb 24 @ 10:03 PM EST

@KelleyJAndrews I get some amazing questions. Today was "storm" I had one about the Jupiter, one on atmospheric conditions-3rd gr. #txed
