Take Me to the Course!
Have you ever had students staring blankly back at you after you ask a question?
Do you ever feel like the teacher in Ferris Bueller’s Day Off? Anyone? Anyone?

Do you ever feel like crickets have taken over your classroom?

Without developing great questioning technique, you’ll never feel like you’re the teacher you always wanted to be, and your students will never feel the pride they could feel when they give a thoughtful answer to a wonderful question.

THERE IS A BETTER WAY THAN STANDING IN FRONT OF A SILENT CLASS

I was exactly where you are. I was using the questions that came with my curriculum, expecting them to be impactful. After all, the school district paid good money for this textbook. Surely the included questions were the right ones to ask.   

Yet, day after day, I’d sit at my desk after school planning for the next day, and thinking with dread about how painful class discussion could be.   

I wanted a lively class.   

I wanted discussion that built classroom community.   

I wanted to feel like I had become the teacher I always intended to be.

  I wanted powerful instruction, and I knew the answer was in the questions.  

Finally, I tossed the textbook questions aside and became a student of questions.   

I read the research, and I turned my class into an unsupervised scientific experiment on questioning.    For a decade, I refined the techniques I was practicing. Eventually, questioning became my superpower, rather than my super stressor. 

I’ve taken all I’ve learned and put it in this course that will teach you to be an expert questioner. You are just a few hours away from being one of the best teachers in the country.

IMAGINE WHAT IT CAN BE LIKE:

  • Having a step-by-step strategy that enables you to create excellent questions about anything in just a few seconds
  • Your energy grows during class, rather than diminishes
  • All awkward silence is gone
  • Feeling filled with confidence every time an administrator observes your class because you know they’ll be blown away with the insights your students share
  • Your struggling students feel empowered to answer questions, building their confidence and content mastery
  • As soon as you ask a question, even your most reticent students want to engage

THIS COULD BE YOU TODAY.
