The Power of Questioning: Opening up the World of Student Inquiry

This book is more than half anecdote from people other than Sackstein. That said, all but one of the anecdotes were interesting and useful and I gathered several neat tips and strategies to try out next year.I bought the paperback version, which is apparently $20 now, and the digital version is $9.99. Given that the paperback version is only 55 pages long, it's hard to justify the expense, especially since you could get most of this information from reading teacher blogs.

I found that a lot of the things I read in this book were awesome. I loved the anecdotal stories from other teachers. The only reason for the three stars is that I found that I didn’t see a lot of reference to mathematics, but maybe that is because I am biased. :) I do recommend this book to each and every history/English teacher out there!

The author makes a strong argument to bring questioning back to learning by providing various anecdotes from real teachers. However, most of the examples I read were about high school students. I wish she had incorporated more specific strategies for incorporating questioning with younger learners.

The book is extremely useful for teachers. I enjoyed a lot reading it. Now I'm sure in our global world all the teachers meet nearly the same problems while teaching. So I've found lots of approaches for increasing my teaching results.

No problem

Confirmation of actions that transform schools. Anecdotes and research to support your own transformation. A simple yet complex strategy: Let students ask the questions.

Learned a lot from this book, it really made me take a close look at my own teaching and improve it.

One of the most important parts of an educator's job is to engage students in higher order thinking. One of our most important tools in this is the question. In this insightful book, Sackstein provides guidance and anecdotes that can help educators at all levels and of all subjects to ask questions that push students to think deeply about their subject and learning. I highly recommend this book to educators at any level that are looking to cultivate the power of the question in thier classrooms.
