Exemplary Classroom Questioning provides a concrete and much needed 'how to' for teaching teachers to become coaches and facilitators of learning at all grade levels. The emphasis on twenty-first century skills compels teachers to move students from acquiring facts to analyzing and evaluating information from product to process. This book encourages teachers to reinvent the learning environment so that students are encouraged to question, reflect, and synthesize information. Teachers are also taught to make the learning relevant to the students' lives and prepare them for the new economy. Dr. Pagliaro's directions transform teachers into facilitators and coaches themselves so they can transform the learning process for their students. This book is a must-have for both veteran and new teachers.
