Preplanned Questioning

Student Contributor: J. Bertrand
This tool is where teachers plan with having questions that the teacher can propose to students that can allow them to self-reflect on their actions without causing too much distraction in the classroom.

This tool is used in the classroom where teachers can propose questions to students when they are not on task. It is a helpful tool that produces self-reflection without too much disruption from the class. These questions invite a specific response from the student. Questions could include, “What are you doing?” or “What should you be doing?” which allows the student to answer specifically and redirect their behavior.

This is a collaborative style and teacher directed style because it allows the teacher to have some control. The teacher has questions that they come up with ahead of time. This prepares for if the student engages in off-task or bad behaviors. This allows the instructor to be in control of the situation, but then allows the student to change their behavior and make their own decisions.
This is corrective because it is attempting to correct the inappropriate behavior in a student through a verbal action.
