Classically Current: Using Taba’s Interpretation of Data for Rigorous Discussion of Cause and Effect

Engaged Education

High-quality instruction never grows old! Hilda Taba’s questioning strategies retain their currency because thoughtful, rigorous classroom discussion never goes out of style. Indeed, new Common Core guidelines requiring meaningful discussion and rigorous critical thinking make these strategies contemporary once again. Taba’s Interpretation of Data strategy is particularly useful, engaging students in detailed, evidence-based discussion of cause and effect relationships with only a whiteboard and some markers. Participants will review the basics of good questioning, analyze the structure of an Interpretation of Data lesson, learn tips for success, and discuss Cognitive Maps as a tool for lesson planning.
