As part of the learning process, questioning and critical thinking
strategies allow students to progress in their learning. Instruction
that encourages questioning and critical thinking engages students and
supports the achievement of predetermined goals. As the teacher, you
will be responsible for identifying standards appropriate for the
curriculum, creating measurable objectives, and developing
instructional strategies and assessments that align with the
objectives of the lesson.
For this assignment, complete the Critical Thinking and
Questioning Strategies Matrix
to plan instruction for the
grade level that corresponds with your field experience. Using the
template, select three standards across two or more content areas and
complete the following:
Develop one aligned learning objective for each standard
Develop one inquiry-based instructional strategy to encourage
critical thinking skills and independent learning
for each
standard
Include three higher-order questions to engage
students in critical thinking, challenge assumptions, and foster
problem solving for each standard. These questions should
:
o
Allow for multiple, open-ended
responses
o
Encourage diverse thinking
o
Advance
discussion in the classroom to solve problems
o
Promote
problem solving of real-world experiences
Create one
assessment for each standard that aligns with the standard and
learning objective
Support your plan with 2-3 scholarly resources.
