How do educators access these different levels of thinking from their students?

 * =Four Generalizations of Questioning=
 * Emphasize the important aspects of the concept rather than interesting facts.
 * Ask higher level questions that require the student to analyze and think rather than recall information.
 * Use wait time after posing a question.
 * Use as a learning tool before, during, and after learning experience.

= Two types of questions: = (Marzano, 1993)
 * Recitation questions: lower level recall of information
 * Construction questions: higher level students take what they know and construct a new idea or connection to the new concept

= Use of Wait Time: = Wait time is a pause between when the teacher asks a question and the students answer. It allows opportunity for all children to stop and think about what is being asked and construct their answer within their mind. This is an effective strategy. It prevents the same children from blurting out the answer and give those that need a little extra time to process the opportunity to do so and not feel rushed.

Wait time is also used between students discussion sessions. They stop and think and reflect on what their peer has just shared before they respond. This allows opportunity for the student to truly listen to their peer and digest what has been shared before they add to, correct, or make a connection
