A four-year-old asks on average about 400 questions per day, and an adult generally asks much much less. Our school system is often structured around rewarding giving the "right" answer and not asking smart questions. The result over time is that, as we grow older, we stop asking questions. Yet asking good questions is essential to finding and developing solutions - an important skill in critical thinking, innovation, and leadership.
This workshop will support teachers to explore their current habits and practices of formulating and asking questions, discuss with their colleagues a range of practices from research and articles, and then develop some new practical approaches they can use with their students.
Contains definitions, examples and pros and cons that will helped not only education students but also other courses.
hope this will help a lot on your study or report!

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

Honest Reviews of Tim Han LMA Course Program.pptxtimhan337
Personal development courses are widely available today, with each one promising life-changing outcomes. Tim Han’s Life Mastery Achievers (LMA) Course has drawn a lot of interest. In addition to offering my frank assessment of Success Insider’s LMA Course, this piece examines the course’s effects via a variety of Tim Han LMA course reviews and Success Insider comments.
2. Intentions of today’s session
• To have you explore the why and what of
questioning with an aim to deepen your
understanding and application
• To use the skills and thinking you want to
develop in students as a spark for questioning
• To begin to identify possible questioning
strategies, practices and habits that teachers can
use to develop student skills and thinking
3. What YOUR job is today
Be open, honest and participate
As the range of
viewpoints and ideas
are presented
Try them on,
Think about them,
Discuss them &
Learn what you Learn!
5. Turn and Talk and then Sharing
1. Why is questioning
important in your
classrooms?
2. What is the purpose of
questioning?
3. What are some of the
outcomes you are trying
to achieve through
questioning?
6. The Real Power of Questions – Ron Richhardt
Each person will read the Ron Richhardt article with the
following in mind (take notes on the template provided)
Connections: What connections do you draw between the
article and your own practice?
Concepts: What key concepts or ideas do you think are
important or worth holding on to from the article
Changes: What changes in attitudes, thinking, or action are
suggested by the article?
7. The Real Power of Questions – Ron Richhardt
After around 10 minutes you
will have an opportunity to
share
Use the notes you took on the
3C’s to share what came up for
you from reading the article
8. Why Ask Questions?
1. To model intellectual engagement
with ideas
2. To promote and nurture ongoing
inquiry
3. To support students in constructing
understanding
4. To help students clarify their own
thinking to themselves and others
9. What is a question?
“A question is any sentence which has an interrogative form
or function. In classroom settings, teacher questions are
defined as instructional cues or stimuli that convey to
students the content elements to be learned and directions
for what they are to do and how they are to do it”
Kathleen Cotton – Classroom Questioning
10. Inquiry
So what is the difference between surface
questions and deep questions?
We need to give kids
snorkels not water-skis
Ben Johnson
12. The point is ….
The teacher – and students – can ask questions that
elicit thinking at different depths
Questioning can be
used to spur depth
of thinking
It also can be used to
uncover the current
depth of thinking
13. In your classroom…..
• How many questions do you think you ask in a 30-
minute period?
• How many questions would be desirable?
• How many questions do your students ask?
• How many student questions would be ideal?
How many questions do we ask? Think
Pair
Share
14. Scary evidence….
On the average, during classroom interactions
approximately 60 percent of the questions asked are
lower cognitive questions, 20 percent are higher
cognitive questions, and 20 percent are procedural
Therefore, only 20 percent of the questions we ask
students involve intellectual engagement with learning,
inquiry, or developing understanding
What research shows
15. General Findings (Cotton)
1. Instruction which includes posing questions during
lessons is more effective in producing achievement gains
than instruction carried out without questioning students.
2. Oral questions posed during classroom sessions are
more effective in fostering learning than are written
questions.
3. Asking questions frequently during class discussions is
positively related to learning facts.
4. Increasing the frequency of classroom questions does
not enhance the learning of more complex material.
16. Importance of Higher Order Questions (Cotton)
1. Lower cognitive questions are more effective when the
teacher’s purpose is to impart factual knowledge and assist
students in committing this knowledge to memory
2. In most classes, a combination of higher and lower cognitive
questions is superior to exclusive use of one or the other
3. Simply asking higher cognitive questions does not necessarily lead
students to produce higher cognitive responses.
4. Increasing the use of higher cognitive questions (to considerably
above the 20 percent incidence noted in most classes) produces
superior learning gains for students
5. Teaching students to draw inferences and giving them
practice in doing so result in higher cognitive responses and
greater learning gains.
17. Bottom line …
To accomplish the goals of questioning
• We need to be clear about and articulate the learning
goals we are trying to achieve with students
• We need to plan the lower order and higher order
questions we intend to ask in a class
• We need to be aware of the frequency we ask
questions (and the students ask each other)
• We need to provide a framework for the questions
students ask
20. Activity Part I
With a partner, for an
upcoming lesson, identify up
to 4 learning goals (linked to
the Four Ron Richhardt goals of
questioning) for your students?
Be as specific as possible
21. Why Ask Questions?
1. To model intellectual engagement
with ideas
2. To promote and nurture ongoing
inquiry
3. To support students in constructing
understanding
4. To help students clarify their own
thinking to themselves and others

24. Activity Part II
Using the Classroom Questions Typology Document and
Bloom’s Taxonomy Questions Stems …
Design a range of lower order
cognitive and higher order
cognitive questions you could
ask to achieve each learning goal
Use the template provided
25. Point of this …
You can’t expect to develop students to gain particular
knowledge or develop a particular skill if you haven’t
clearly articulated the learning goals and designed
possible questions you could ask
27. Strategies in the Classroom
• You have identified the learning goals you want to
achieve
• You have identified a potential range of lower order
and higher order questions
• Next Step is … what strategies
are you going to use to enact
your planning / thinking in
your classroom
28. Wait Time 1: the pause after asking a question, giving
students time to think about their answer
Wait Time 2: the pause after a student answers a
question - gives them time to elaborate
and be engaged
The typical length of Wait Times 1 and 2 is less than or
equal to 1 second BUT if teachers can extend their wait
times to 3 or more seconds, then...
Wait Time – the ‘miracle’ pause….
29. Wait Time – the ‘miracle’ pause….
What happens to STUDENTS when Wait Time is increased?
The variety of students participating
increases.
The length of student responses
increases.
There is a decrease in ‘I don’t know’
responses.
The number, length and appropriateness
of responses by students increases
Student to student exchanges increase
(they listen to each other more)
More inferences are supported by
evidence and logical argument.
The increase of speculative thinking
increases.
Student confidence increases.
Decreases in student interruptions Improvements in student retention
Increases in the amount and quality of
evidence students offer to support their
inferences
Achievement on assessment measures
improves.
30. Wait Time – the ‘miracle’ pause….
What happens to TEACHERS when Wait Time is increased?
Questioning strategies became more
flexible and varied
- the kind of questions asked by teachers
change (more advanced / higher order /
divergent questions)
The quantity of questions asked
decreased, while the quality and variety of
questions increased.
Expectations for the performance of
certain students seem to improve
There is greater continuity in the
development of discussion.
There is greater flexibility of teacher
responses, with teachers listening more
and engaging students in more
discussions.
Increases in the number of higher
cognitive questions asked by teachers.
33. No Opt Out – its not OK to not try
A sequence that
begins with a
student unable to
answer a question
should end with the
student answering
that question
as often as possible.
34. Activity Part III: Exploration of strategies
We have created the opportunity for you to learn and
contribute to one another in enacting effective
questioning in your classes
Made a range of resources /
strategies available … look
through these with your
partner and discuss and
choose what approaches
you could use to achieve
the learning goals you
identified
35. Sharing about what you learnt
What did you learn from today’s session that
you will enact in your classes?
36. Sustaining practice
Teacher learning takes time
Practice is required to put new knowledge to
work, to make it meaningful and accessible when
you need it
