‘In the middle of difficulty lies opportunity.
The important thing is not to stop questioning.’
Albert Einstein

3 Pillars of Assessment for Learning
1.Questioning (open questions, think time, higher order questions)
2. Quality of feedback(immediacy, no grades just targets, learner centred,
frequency, opportunity to correct, clarity)
3. Peer & Self AssessmentSharing and understanding learning intentions, understanding success criteria, recognising good
quality work, metacognition – thinking about thinking/learning)

It’s a fact that… An average teacher asks 400 questions in a day That’s 70,000 a year! One-third of all teaching time is spent asking questions Most questions are answered in less than a second
(That's the average time teachers allow between posing a question and accepting an answer, throwing it to someone else, or answering it themselves).
Increasing the wait time improves the number and quality of the responses - three seconds for a lower-order question and more than 10 seconds for a higher-order question
Steven HastingsTES 4 July 2003

What is the purpose of questions?
To interest, engage and challenge. To check on prior knowledge. To focus thinking on key concepts and issues. Interaction with the class and within the class - pupil
with pupil. To measure progress - formative.
11
What are the pitfalls of questioning?
Asking too many closed questions – these may still be needed.
Too many short answer recall-based questions – these may still be needed.
12
Reflect on your questions
Allow students time to think before responding. Use challenging language-differentiate the question. Value students’ responses.

Empirical – based on facts, outcome of experiments etc Conceptual – definitions, reasoning Value questions - morals Bloom’s taxonomy – a framework to classify questions
Types of questions
14
Knowledge – what, who, when, where, identify, list...... Comprehension – compare, which, explain, which, estimate..... Application – demonstrate, solve, test, consider, indicate ....... Analysis – what, describe, relate, recognize, classify ......... Synthesis – create, design, suggest, plan, what conclusion ...... Evaluation – defend, decide, judge, evaluate, choose .......
Bloom’s taxonomy of questioning(1956)

Plan for questioning – differentiate questions using Blooms. Wait for an answer - 5secs for low, up to 1minute for high order. Use questions to develop collaborative work. Use think-pair-share sessions - pupils will feel more comfortable to
share answer in the class, if they have shared it with a buddy first. Ask open questions that give pupils the opportunity to apply thinking. Start a lesson with a question. Know the answer to your questions-but accept sometimes you will not! Review the questions in the plenary session. Signpost your questions in planning/SOW.
Tips

Teaching is the art of asking questions.Socrates
Good learning starts with questions, not answers.

The rest of the day:After lunchTactical Teaching session for English, Languages,
RE, History and Geography.
Everybody else in departments:• Complete the ‘Radyr Standard’- HODs to return to
RJ• Produce 20 higher order questions, returning the
sheet to HOD-HOF, who needs to copy responses and return to RJ (as departments/faculties decide who will do each unit/lessons to avoid duplication)
• Learning Forum can conduct AFL Survey
