Teacher Question Cards

These Teacher Question Cards are a great resource for teachers to promote productive talk between students during a whole class discussion. Each card includes 4 to 5 questions that a teacher can ask students during a discussion. The questions on each card are intended to promote a specific type of talk.  Details: The Probing Questions Card- includes questions that are designed to elicit new ideas. The Pressing Questions Card- includes questions that are designed to encourage students to support their ideas. The Inviting Questions Card- includes questions that are designed to encourage students to build off the ideas of others. The Re-voicing Questions Card- includes questions that are designed to encourage students to restate what others have said in a new way. It can be hard sometimes in a virtual setting to get kids to engage in the conversation. These cards can help give you ideas for how to keep pushing the thinking and responding back onto the students by asking good questions.
