Webinar: How to Ask (and Use) Better Questions to Teach Big Ideas

Discover the basics of better questioning. In this 30-minute professional development workshop recording, we’ll discuss how to use KnowAtom’s Teacher Question Helper and KnowAtom’s Reading Questions to help your students extract the big ideas from non-fiction science reading.

We’ll focus on how to move away from a model of instruction where the teacher is answer-expert to focus on the next generation model of helping students navigate context, annotate, and distill key ideas through better instructional questioning. We’ll also use the lens of remote teaching to discuss how parents and caregivers can effectively engage with students during and after their reading.

In this interactive session recording, we’ll learn:

how to deepen learning with questioning techniques
the purpose of using questions in reading
when and how to use reading questions

Learn how Question Helpers can help students extract big ideas and think deeper.
