The Art of Asking Questions: Unlocking the Power of a Coach's Language
Hudson, Alida K.; Pletcher, Bethanie C.
Reading Teacher, v74 n1 p96-100 Jul-Aug 2020
The authors aim to build awareness of questioning strategies and techniques in specialized literacy professionals (SLPs), specifically those in a literacy coach role. Whereas questioning is a technique that may promote reflective thinking in teachers, the authors note, providing examples and solving problems for teachers may come more naturally to SLPs than the use of questioning to probe reflection. Further, SLPs often express the desire to find and use the language of coaching conversations so they can promote deep reflection and critical analysis in teachers through one-on-one coaching conversations. To help SLPs build their coaching discourse, the authors share various types of questions and prompts that align with each category. Implications for SLPs, school districts, and university programs responsible for preparing SLPs are also addressed.
