Lots of questions...

Teacher entry

To make a difference I need to do things differently...

I need to start by asking questions and seeking the answers. The following question and sub-questions are based around the theme of Mathematical Discourse. 

Teaching as Inquiry

Will a focus on my deliberate acts of teaching enhance student discourse?

What are my listening skills like?

How long am I waiting for the answer?
What kinds of questions am I asking?

How am I using student response to clarify and inform the next line of questioning?

What does effective student discourse look and sound like?

What type of environment do I need to create to elicit student thinking/discussion?

How can I develop risk taking?

What are possible strategies?

Is there professional reading that I need to do?

Who can model this for me?

To track progress of the Inquiry question

How will I know at any given time I am making progress?

How will the children?
