As teachers we want to be able to enter into and support children in their play without taking over. As children play with blocks, they are developing a wide variety of skills and knowledge. Their learning grows when adults facilitate play through high quality questions. In this webinar you will learn how to “step up” your questioning techniques by utilizing stages of questions based on Bloom’s Taxonomy to extend children’s thinking as you engage with them in the Block area in the classroom.
