BOOKS BY ERIK M. FRANCIS

What does it mean to teach and learn with an inquiring mind? Learn how to phrase and pose good questions that facilitate inquiry-based teaching and learning experiences by "hooking" students into wanting to learn and guiding them down four different inquiry pathways: Foundational, Understanding, Deep 

and Expertise. 

If your understanding of Depth of Knowledge (DOK) is a little cloudy, you’re not alone. This book is your one-stop-shop for learning what Depth of Knowledge is and how to use the DOK levels to provide learning experiences that are academically rigorous, socially and emotionally supportive, and student responsive.

What is a good question - or rather, how does a good question challenge students to demonstrate different levels of thinking and understand and use their depth of knowledge (DOK)? Explore how good questioning can provide the proper scaffolding to deepen student thinking, understanding, and application of knowledge.
