Learn how to weave high-level questions into your day-to-day teaching practices. Packed with hands-on guidance for scaffolding children's learning and promoting a deeper understanding in a variety of contexts, this is a critical resource for early childhood professionals working with children ages 3 to 6.
Questions are powerful tools, especially in the classroom. Asking rich, thoughtful questions can spark young children’s natural curiosity and illuminate a whole new world of possibility and insight. But what are “big” questions, and how do they encourage children to think deeply? With this intentional approach—rooted in Bloom’s Taxonomy—teachers working with children ages 3 through 6 will discover how to meet children at their individual developmental levels and stretch their thinking. Featuring contributions from respected names in the field, this book
