Open-ended questions create meaningful opportunities for learning, prompting children to reason and reflect while encouraging their use of language. In this edWebinar, Teachstone Training’s Chief Strategy Officer Dr. Rebecca Berlin shares tips on using open-ended questions to improve classroom interactions with young learners. She gives advice on how to ask questions that generate meaningful conversation, and offer strategies for encouraging children to reflect and respond. She also shows how open-ended questions fit within the broader framework of the Classroom Assessment Scoring System (CLASS) that helps teachers improve what matters most in the classroom—the interactions that drive learning and development.

While asking questions comes naturally for many early learning teachers, asking open-ended questions may not. It takes effort to build a repertoire of questions that encourage young children to reflect on and articulate their own ideas. Teachers often find that they have to be intentional about incorporating open-ended questions into their classroom practice. Learn:

• Strategies to implement in your classroom to help you remember to ask open-ended questions
• Exercises to assist you in generating lists of generic open-ended questions you can use in your classroom
• Tips to assist children in responding to open-ended questions

Infant, toddler, Pre-K and early elementary teachers and the administrators, coaches and specialists who support them are invited to watch this recorded session.
