Overview
Mastering the art of asking questions for challenge is an essential teaching skill. Good questions get pupils really thinking, expand the boundaries of their knowledge and encourage them to ask their own questions, as well as providing an excellent means of differentiation. Maximising the impact of questioning on learning is a skill worth working at.
Use these training materials to get teachers thinking about how they use questions, how to incorporate questions into their planning and how to create a classroom environment where pupils feel comfortable to take risks with their learning.
