This document discusses effective questioning techniques for teachers. It begins by asking what a facilitator is and why questioning is important for finding out what students know and don't know. It then covers Bloom's Taxonomy of question types from basic knowledge to higher-order evaluation. The document provides examples of each question type and gives techniques for establishing an appropriate environment for questioning, phrasing questions carefully, and responding to student answers. It also references an online video about effective dialog and questioning in the classroom.
