Effective Questioning for Teaching Assistants

Audience: Primary
  • Primary School Improvement Training Package

Far more than just an ability to ask questions, effective questioning is about understanding what type of question to ask at a given time for maximum impact. This session develops an understanding of the importance of questioning, examines some theoretical ideas around the topic, and looks at a wide range of different questioning exercises that can be employed with students.

What delegates said

"It was a great introduction into how to encourage children to access their own information and ideas through the phrasing of questions." Boughton Monchelsea Primary School

"The course is colourful and eye-catching and easy to navigate.  I liked the frequent activities, checking understanding of the sections just covered."  Sussex Road

"Some brilliant concepts that I hadn't even thought about. I hadn't thought about questioning as a game as such, but totally see how our children would view that. I also loved the 'finishing is not the goal, learning is'." John Wesley CEM Primary School

This module should take approximately 30 minutes to complete.
