Classroom questions

Description:

One of the most practical books for teachers and educators. Every teacher and educator should read this book and have it available for their personal reference. This is a how-to manual for teachers and educators and provides straight-forward help about how to ask questions -- and, just as importantly, how not to ask questions. I consider it to be a "must read" for teachers and the kind of book that one wants to consult throughout one's career. It is short. It is easy to read. And it is very practical! The basic idea is that the kinds of questions one asks and how they are framed has a very big impact upon student active participation and learning. And so Sanders connects type of question with type of participation and classroom interaction-pattern and with different learning styles. He does so without jargon. And he does so in a very thin easy-to-read and easy-to-consult book. When I was an educational administrator, I made my teachers read it and I made sure they knew it was in my office when they needed to consult it.
