 The Principal Perspective

Picture
Elizabeth J. Abramowitz

Every room I visit is filled with highly engaged   students demonstrating higher level thinking skills throughout the curriculum. Our faculty has been expanding their band-width to encompass various questioning strategies to actively engage students’ thinking processes.

I highly recommend utilizing the following questioning techniques when discussing books/TV/movies with your children:

1.    Compare and contrast parts/relationships/ideas and elements of a story.
2.    Discuss a new ending or changing an element to a story.
3.    What would the world be like if………
4.    What might have occurred if………
5.    Discuss this story from a different perspective

Any thought-provoking question will challenge your child to refine and expand their critical thinking skills. 

Let’s work together to increase our childrens’ proficiency in analyzing, evaluating and synthesizing information.
