Extending Children’s Thinking: Using Bloom’s Taxonomy to Support Higher Level Questions

In this workshop you will learn how to “step up” your questioning techniques by utilizing the stages of questions based on Bloom’s Taxonomy to extend children’s thinking as you engage with them in the classroom environment and through the daily routine. The amount of words as well as the number of back and forth exchanges in conversation children are exposed to at a young age boosts brain development. With some practice using higher level questions, teachers can pave the way for children to think about and express more complex ideas.
