Dear Bison Colleagues,
Happy Friday! As we close out another week at Buffalo Grove HS, I am focused on the topic of questioning strategies, skills and techniques.
Teach and Learn with Passion!
Teaching and Learning Quotes:
“No one can teach, if by teaching we mean the transmission of knowledge, in any mechanical fashion, from one person to another. The most that can be done is that one person who is more knowledgeable than another can, by asking a series of questions, stimulate the other to think, and so cause him to learn for himself.” – Socrates
Danielson Framework for Teaching reminder:
There are 4 domains, 22 components and 76 elements that are considered aspects of a teacher's responsibility as documented through empirical studies. The 4 domains are:
1. Planning and Preparation
2. The Classroom Environment
3. Instruction
4. Professional Responsibilities
Looking at Domain 3: Instruction

Glogster is a Web 2.0 tool that allows users to create virtual posters combining text, audio, video, images, and hyperlinks and to share them with others electronically. Using Glogster’s educational site, Glogster EDU, teachers can establish class lists and monitor student activity while protecting privacy and anonymity.
