This unit explores how you might build the habit of Questioning in your pupils.
Sections 1 – 4 look at;
- Questioning and how it develops. The Questioning Chart. Unpick the meaning of Questioning, how it develops over time and use the Questioning chart to plot where your pupils are now.
- Taking Questioning into classroom culture. Questioning activities. Offers numerous suggestions to develop a questioning friendly culture and build pupils’ questioning skills.
- Blending questioning with content. Example dual focused lesson. Suggests a series of questions and steps you might use to ensure the development of questioning claims its place in the curriculum and is designed into lesson/activities to aid understanding.
- Team reflection and planning. Share the impact of your experiments with colleagues and plan what you need to do next.
The resource materials in the Learning Diary: Questioning help you to distil important messages, home in on the key bits of information and design learning experiments specifically for you.
You will probably need to spend about an hour on sections 1-3. Section 1 may take about 15 minutes to get your head round. Section 2 should take you about 20 minutes to browse through the suggested activities. Section 3 needs about 25 minutes of hard thinking and head scratching. Section 4 is a linked Professional Learning Team session which will have been organised to take place sometime after this on-line session, and should take about 75 minutes.
