Questioning Analysis

My weakest areas were:

1. All Students
2. Probe, direct, and reinforce
To get all my students involved, I found that getting to know what motivates
them is a strategy I need to input. If you can pique a student's interest with
something they care about and relate it to the lesson, the students are more
likely going to participate. Teaching with technology, such as an iPad or
laptop, is a great way for students to get involved because this generation
has grown up on technology and are all up to date on how to use them. A
teaching strategy that I also found is cooperative learning. Activities such as
Jigsaw and Think-Pair-Share have the students participate in discussions with
their classmates. Assigning roles to each group member in a group will give
each student a responsibility and they will have to work to together to
complete the task.
For the probing, redirecting, and reinforcing, I found some questioning
techniques and strategies to use in the classroom.  Using clarification and
asking a student to expand their answer will help to clarify their answer
better. Acting "puzzled" and asking student to explain what they mean all
while watching tone and facial expressions will make students expand on
their answer. This is a challenge technique.  You can give minimal
reinforcement which supports the student while they are answering. Asking
for justification makes the students justify their answer and this will help with
not getting one word responses.
