Outstanding Question and Answer

Jazz up your Q&A with an abundance of non threatening but highly effective Q&A strategies. Build learner confidence, avoid monosyllabic answers and ensure productive checks on progress through regular ‘all response’ questioning strategies. Build spontaneous participation through the use of ‘story boards’ to check for prior learning, apply spaced practice with regular ‘recall’ questions, check progress mid lesson with Wiliam’s highly recommended Hinge questions and PPPB strategies and lastly end the lesson with self assessment checks to follow up in the next lesson. Shift your focus from a presentation base to seeking evidence of progress and understanding. Aim to identify and correct misconceptions as they arise in real time. Too often we are encouraged to start lessons with the statement, “By the end of the lesson you will be able to …” but how do you know? All evidence-based practice with full academic referencing.
