The ToddCast - Probing Questions
Probing or Follow-Up Questions - Asking a good question is essential, but even more important is the question you follow it up with. This is a good way to raise the rigor in your classroom and get students thinking beyond just the most obvious answer or the surface level one. By asking these follow-up questions it allows you to become the meddler in the middle, having conversations with students and asking them to think about what they are doing in a different way. This is how we challenge students, by challenging their thinking.
