Chapters 7 & 8

In chapter 7, there is a whole section devoted to higher order and lower thinking related to Bloom's Taxonomy. This section is directly correlated to the component of Danielson Framework evaluating questioning and discussion techniques. This section discusses how teachers can create these higher order thinking prompts through various ways. One way is by asking those questions that force students to dig deeper and to really think about their answers. Another way is to ask open ended questions where there is multiple correct answers. This chapter also offers suggestions to include open-ended activities and games.

Electronic communication does provide teachers and parents to be in almost constant contact. It allows parents to reach out to their children's teachers whenever they have an issue or concern or any questions they may have. It also provides teachers opportunities to convey any important messages or announcements that they want to make sure the parents are aware of.
