High, medium or low?

Many teachers have strategies intended to elicit deeper thinking. One teacher in our school division was willing to share her high-medium-low strategy.

Maybe this could work for you too? Based on Blooms, the verbs on each poster say it all: moving from red to green students increase their ability to connect, infer, apply, demonstrate and evaluate their learnings. Posted in her classroom, she challenges students to think, question and apply their learning on these three different levels.

It reminds us of a questioning strategy useful for any grade but especially younger ones: thick and thin questions. Click the links for more information or to see a teacher-created poster using thick and thin questions.

HFCRD37 teachers can also search for strategies and resources in our coaching toolbox on the S Drive. Or check out our prezi on questioning.
