This webinar will focus on the critical importance of developing effective questions that not only align seamlessly with intended learning objectives but also promote higher-level thinking skills. We will dissect various question types, including the nuances of “thick” vs. “thin” questions, “open-ended” vs. “closed-ended” prompts, and the importance of distinguishing between fact and interpretive opinion, or explicit meaning and inferred understanding. Join us to learn how to design targeted questions that challenge learners to analyze, synthesize, evaluate, and create. You’ll leave with actionable techniques that will empower learners to become more independent and critical thinkers who can effectively assess their own comprehension.
In this interactive webinar, we will unpack this new assessment and learn research-based strategies for teaching the underlying reading skills our adult learners need for TABE®, High School Equivalency, and life success.
Our professional development resources help program managers, instructors, trainers, and others build the capacity and quality of adult education programs. Our tools can help your adult literacy programs strengthen skills and learn new strategies to improve student outcomes in reading, writing, and financial literacy.
