This session will help participants use higher order thinking to increase rigor. We will improve the quality of questions posed to students.

Main objectives include:

  • using Webb’s Depth of Knowledge to scaffold students to think more critically,

  • purposefully planning questions in lesson plans, and

  • building rigor in both face to face and virtual environments.
