Teachers will learn how to shift from closed questioning to inquiry-driven instruction that deepens understanding and engagement. Participants will be able to:

• Distinguish between closed and open-ended questions
• Design high-quality open-ended questions within their classroom
• Facilitate discussions that extend student thinking
• Scaffold student responses for diverse learners
• Assess student understanding through open-ended tasks

In the end, teachers will utilize Bloom’s Taxonomy, Think-Pair-Share as well as a myriad of strategies they already know in order to build and have their students’ flourish.
