Connie will push your thinking and equip you with invaluable questioning strategies that all K-12 teachers need to use! She has helped me become more intentional when questioning my students and the results have been remarkable. The best part is that my students are now modeling Connie's techniques when they question each other!

I had been searching for the right resource to help me with developing better questioning strategies. Not only is this book that resource, it also has many other strategies included that make students more accountable and responsible for their learning. I love the layout of the chapters and the extra bonuses by seeing how to implement the strategies immediately.

I have been teaching for 20 years and I am taking notes on every page! It is easy to use as a resource or just as easy to read cover to cover. Make yourself a notebook for this book. You won't want to forget anything Ms. Hamilton says!

This book is an excellent source of not just information, but actual practical advice on implementing techniques and procedures that will improve your whole classroom environment tomorrow! Highly recommend for new teachers especially. If you take the time to read this before you begin, you’ll have a great head start on having excellent procedures already implemented for lots of the problems in classroom management that new teachers often face. Fabulous book!

I have been waiting for Connie Hamilton to write this book for years and she did not disappoint. Just like her workshops, Hacking Questions is filled with practical strategies that teachers can actually use to help engage students in learning. Easy to read and relevant for all educators.

Connie Hamilton does an amazing job of balancing the research with the practical. Her encouraging voice can be heard on every page! As a district level specialist this book has become one of my “go to” resources for coaching teachers around questioning & depth of knowledge. Highly recommend for project based and traditional classrooms who want to amp up kids thinking.

Connie is one of the best coaches around for increasing equitable engagements with learners. She practices what she preaches and the professional learning she engages schools in mirrors the practices in the book. If all classrooms used the practices Connie lives and breathes more kids would want to learn. Building a culture of inquiry is vital if we want to level up all kids.

As a new Instructional Coach, I am always looking for ways to support teachers to encourage the 21st century skills of critical thinking and questioning in their classrooms. This book has been a great foundation for professional learning in our school. Connie did a Q & A with our staff and her expertise and professionalism was impressive. Since her workshop, more teachers have been coming to me wanting to work on incorporating Hacks into their lessons and inviting me to watch the Hacks in action! It is so exciting to watch the enthusiasm and high quality instruction that this book has supported.

In a very short amount of time, Connie Hamilton opened my eyes to the art of questioning. Connie taught me how to get more from my students by questioning in such a way that is safe and inviting to the students in order to deepen their thinking. I feel fortunate to have had the training and welcome any further professional development from such a guru of questioning.

The way Connie presented questioning and how she connected it helped me to better understand student learning. The workshops applied to all grade levels and were interactive. I continue to use her models with my students daily.
