Teacher Larry Ferlazzo shares his list of questions he uses to self-examine and improve his teaching:
- “Will what I am about to do or say bring me closer to the person with whom I am communicating–or will it push me further away?”
- “Is what I am doing (or about to do) going to connect to the student’s self-interest?”
- “Who’s doing the work?”
- “Is what I’m doing connected to higher-order thinking?”
- “Am I using ‘whole-class processing’ strategies?”
