Questions
The importance of questioning has been emphasized
throughout the Certificate of Teaching Mastery. In Course 1, you wereintroduced to the "Question Wall," and thereafter, you have added
questions to this "Question Wall" in the WebBoard area.
The next part of your E-Portfolio has to do with
questions you've created, and questions you can generate now. Here's whatto do:
- Open a new, blank Word document and at the top of the page, write the
title: "My Questions." Look at your learning circle's Question Wallnow and write down the questions you posted to the wall.
- Under the list of questions you just typed, write the title:
"Questions that Interest Me" and write any questions from the wall thatanyone else may have posted that hold some interest for you now.
- Under the questions you just typed, write the title: "New Questions"
and write any new questions that come to mind as you are reading formerquestions from the Question Wall. You might also look through past
assignments and reflections to stimulate any new questions that cometo mind about educational theory, practice, etc.
- Read the questions you have listed in all of the 3 sections above and
write 4-5 sentences about what you notice about the questions.
- Send this "Questions" document to your mentor.
- When your mentor says you are "Ready" to continue, follow the
instructions in the previous "Posting Your Work" section and add thisdocument to your E-Portfolio into the "Questions" section.
