Hacking Questions
ESC-17 is excited to host Connie Hamilton, the author of Hacking Questions, for a workshop on July 14th!
Hacking Questions digs into framing, delivering, and maximizing questions in the classroom to keep students engaged in learning. All attendees will receive a copy of Connie's book.
Known in education circles as the "Questioning Guru," Connie Hamilton shows teachers of all subjects and grades how to:
- Hear the music: listen for correct answers
- Scaffold to trigger student thinking without doing it for them
- Kick the IDK bucket to avoid “I don’t know” as the final answer
- Punctuate your learning time to end with reflection questions
- Spin the throttle to fuel students to ask the questions
- Fill your back pocket with engagement questions
- Make yourself invisible by establishing student-centered protocols
- Be a Pinball Wizard and turn students into facilitators
