How committed are you to using questions?

For me, commitment results in action. So when I want to know how committed I am to something, I look at what I’m doing. At Christian schools, we’re committed to helping students connect what they study and what the Bible teaches. And in my experience, teachers who are committed to using questions to help students make connections take action:
  1. They have identified effective Biblical perspective questions like “How can you relate to culture?”
  2. They ask their Biblical perspective questions.
  3. They frame each of their classes (and each of their units) around their Biblical perspective questions. 
  4. They use one or more of their questions to start a unit. 
  5. They have their students journal on a question. 
  6. They use questions as a springboard to having their students read the Bible and articles by Christians.
  7. They use their questions to review a unit.
  8. They use Biblical perspective questions as the basis of unit and semester assessments.
  9. They post their questions on a bulletin board. 
  10. They prominently feature their questions on their course syllabi and Web site. 
Question: How committed are you to using questions? (In other words, how are you using questions?)
