This course provides a clear outline of how colleagues can make better use of questions in their classrooms, how they can incorporate questions into their planning and how they can create a classroom environment in which pupils are comfortable to take risks with their learning.

Aims and outcomes

This course will give participants the skills to:

  • understand questioning - identify the different roles questions play in learning
  • develop pupils - tease out pupils' knowledge, understanding and skills through effective questioning
  • plan for questions - master the art of planning key questions which link with learning objectives and success criteria
  • differentiate learning - ensure that all pupils are effectively challenged through questions which support differentiation
  • gain day-to-day techniques - practice proven techniques which work in the 'everyday' classroom.
