Socratic Question -Stem Cards

These cards are designed to help you and your teaching assistants to improve your teacher talk. By simply changing the way we respond and question our students we can improve their learning and model how to develop a more inquisitive and probing vocabulary.
The use of Socratic questioning creates an active classroom where learning is student-centered and inquiry- based. This form of questioning also facilitates long-term retention of information and advances the problem-solving skills of the students.
