Inhaltsangabe

Research suggests a teacher will ask approximately 1.75 million questions over a 30 year career. This book will help you to maximise the impact of every one of those.

Questions form the daily diet of every teacher in every classroom. You don't ask the person you live with to tell you about the strengths and weaknesses of spaghetti for dinner instead of pizza, but you probably will have asked a learner to rate, assess or evaluate something in the past week. Whether it was Goldilocks' decision to try the porridge, Shakespeare's choice of adjectives, or the efficacy of wind power as part of a modern energy mix.

In school, we use questions as the primary tool to stimulate thinking, foster discussion and make learning happen.

In this completely comprehensive guide to questioning, you'll learn:

• How to think critically about the nature of questioning
• How questions work
• How questions impact on learners
• Why changing the way you ask a question is such a powerful strategy
• How to structure activities that place questioning front and centre

From start to finish, there's a highly practical focus. This isn't a book about academic theories or conceptual thinking. This is a book about the day-to-day of effective classroom questioning. Inside, you'll find:

• 15 tried and tested questioning strategies
• 20 proven questioning activities
• Over 1200 ready-made exemplar questions
• Detailed guidance on how to implement the strategies and activities
• Practical tools suitable for adapting to primary and secondary classrooms

If you're a teacher who asks questions on a daily basis, this book will give you the insights you need to develop, enhance and finesse every question you ask.
