=Put a Short Activity/Lesson/Problem Solving is not just a Math Skill=

Please identify opportunities for differentiation. ||
 * **Title**: ||< Use Problem-Based Learning Questioning Techniques ||
 * **Subject**: ||< All Subjects ||
 * **Grade**: ||< Any ||
 * **Time Frame**: ||< How long will the activity/lesson/project take? The activity should take one or two 10-20 minutes sessions before every lesson. ||
 * **Summary:** ||< Write a SHORT summary of the activity/project/lesson here.
 * Solving problems is a life long skill and it begins with asking some basic questions. Two questions that are useful are "What do you know?" and "What do you need to know?" Before teachers and students are asked to generate their own questions, they can begin with using the same questions to create a consistent culture and practice. This activity is simply to embed the two questions above into their lessons or a training. ||
 * **Tasks**: ||< 1) Describe the main steps of the activity/lesson/project here
 * During a staff development or training, show participants the objective
 * Once the objective is shown, ask participants what they know about the learning that is going to take place. These are the "KNOWS."
 * Hook participants into thinking by asking the question, "What do you need to know?"
 * Asking these two questions helps the learner to understand that every event, educational or not, is a potential "problem solving experience."
 * Be sure to highlight opportunities for students to practice/employ an "early adopter" or lifelong learning skill ||
 * Objectives: ||< * What State, Common Core or other objectives does this activity/lesson project meet?
 * Please include at least one !gnite objective here as well (communication with text and non-text resources, collaboration, higher order thinking skills, problem solving, etc.) ||
 * Assessment: ||< How will you assess the students learning? Participants will be assessed through informal observations. We know that students have learned this technique when they begin to ask these questions themselves.
 * Resources: ||< * What resources will be needed? A lesson or training a person has to give. ||
 * **Teacher**
 * Reflections:** || Please share what went well, what was challenging and what you might tweak or modify for your next round....
 * I modeled the questioning technique but I am not sure what the success will be until I am able to observe questioning in their own instruction
