How can we help prepare our students for standardized tests, without spending valuable instruction time on test preparation? One way to improve teaching and learning is through effective questioning and close reading. This professional learning experience will focus on using Webb’s Depth of Knowledge as well as creating Text Dependent Questions to empower educators to identify and create questions that give students the opportunity to learn at the highest levels, which will help them be successful on any exam/test they encounter. Online and/or follow-up opportunities will be available upon request.
