This webinar will provide senior leaders, headteachers and all teaching staff with an understanding of how effective questioning can be used in the classroom to enhance teaching and pupil attainment.

It is estimated that teachers ask about 300-400 questions per day, and as many as 120 questions per hour. Questioning is essential to determine learning needs and prompt pupils to think. However, traditional methods don’t necessarily achieve these two key objectives.

By adopting a strategic approach, teachers can make the most of questioning to support excellent learning and progress. With careful preparation, effective questioning in the classroom can soon become second nature and via modelling, teachers can develop learner skills of enquiry and independence.

In this webinar, Stephen Burnage, teacher educator and DfE subject learning coach with extensive management and teaching experience, explains how teachers can harness the power of effective questioning in the classroom to engage all learners, and equips them will practical skills to facilitate assessment, encourage productive thinking and improve the attainment of the whole class.
