The Big Question:

Are you questioning enough?

Reasons for attending this programme:
As you know the art of questioning is at the heart of learning: teaching, assessing, differentiating, coaching, motivating, developing thinking skills and creating critical thinkers – effective questions are key to these and more!

Appropriate questions, asked skilfully, contribute to significant improvements in learning. Limited questioning leads to limited understanding. Superficial questioning leads to superficial understanding.

What is this training about?
Questioning is the essence of effective teaching because of the numerous purposes it serves: motivating learners, assessing knowledge and skills, and reviewing content. Questioning is the heart and soul of learning. It is the most widely used instructional strategy to facilitate learning.
Thinking is driven by questions, not answers, and learning is driven by thinking.
This event will give participants an opportunity to investigate the principles of effective questioning and the links between questioning, thinking and learning.

  • How to develop the art of questioning

  • It doesn’t matter how experience you are, go for it. The training was the most magic. Teaching must go over to learning and we in school have to take responsibility for that. I will use this in my work as a consultant helping schools to improve. Many many thanks for a great course.
