"When it comes to education, what gets measured, gets managed"
Produce Questions
• Ask as many questions as you can
• Do not stop to discuss, judge, or answer the questions
• Write down every question exactly as it is stated
• Change any statement into a question
Improve Questions
Categorize questions as closed or open-ended
Find closed-ended questions and mark them with a C
Find open-ended questions and mark them with an O
Discuss the value of each type of question
Identify advantages & disadvantages of each type of question
Change questions from one type to another
Change closed-ended question to open-ended and viceversa
Prioritize Questions
Choose 3 questions that…
• you consider most important
• will help with your research
• can be used for your experiment
• will guide your reading/ writing
• can be answered as you read
• will help you solve the problem

Schlechty’s Levels of Engagement
Schlechty’s Levels of Engagement
|
ACTIVE ENGAGEMENT |
- See the SOLE as personally meaningful. - Persist in the face of difficulty - Emphasize perfection and “getting it right.” |
| STRATEGIC COMPLIANCE | - Only work on the SOLE if for a grade, prize, or your approval - Aren't personally satisfied or interested by their work |
| RITUAL COMPLIANCE | - Find no meaning in the SOLE Work only to avoid confrontation or discipline - Work to satisfy the minimum requirement: “What do I have to do to get this over and get out?” |
| RETREATISM | -Are disengaged and emotionally withdrawn -Feel unable to do what is being asked or are uncertain about what they should do -Sees little that is relevant to their life in the work |
| REBELLION | - Are actively disengaged and pursuing their own agenda -Are acting out - and often encouraging others to rebel |
