Wabash Valley Education Center Wabash Valley Education Center Are you struggling to ask good higher order thinking questions to elevate your instruction? Do you ask more Memory/Recall questions than Higher Order Thinking questions in your instruction, on quizzes, or tests? Are you struggling to formulate good Higher Order Thinking questions to get your students to think and understand? Join us to learn how to easily convert Memory/Recall questions into Higher Order Thinking (H.O.T.) questions. You will be provided with resources detailing how to easily formulate H.O.T. questions. Using Higher Order Thinking questions to get students to think, understand, and relate what you are teaching to past and future skills will be modeled. You will be shown how H.O.T. questions can be used in conjunction with shorter student assignments to accomplish more with less and support better and deeper understanding. You will receive valuable resources, activities, and ideas for increasing student performance using good higher order thinking questions. This session will be recorded and sent to registrants for 2 months after the live session.
