This document discusses the importance of questioning techniques in the classroom. It notes that questioning accounts for up to a third of teaching time and is key for assessing, challenging, and developing student understanding. The document then provides examples of effective questioning techniques teachers can use, such as directed questioning, encouraging student independence, and using questioning as a plenary activity. Teachers are tasked with applying one of these techniques to their own classroom.
An abridged version of the staff training resource delivered at West Cheshire College in summer 2015. The full set of slides plus accompanying resources can be found at http://mycourse.west-cheshire.ac.uk/teacherstoolkit/?page_id=666
Questioning is a central part of student assessment and quizzing, but it can also be a powerful learning tool. In this interactive workshop, we’ll explore research-based tips and ideas for achieving the full benefit of questioning. Effective use of common questioning tools -- clickers and discussion boards -- will be discussed as a means to achieve student engagement and deep learning.
It is the skill of asking the right type of questions, to the right person at the right time and in the right environment.
"The power of questioning is the basis of all human progress"
Is is rightly said, "Judge a man by his questions rather than by his answers".

Code Blue is a cross-disciplinary collaboration between Carnegie Mellon’s Biomedical Engineering department and the Entertainment Technology Center.
The cutting-edge left ventricular assist device (LVAD) can improve quality of life for patients with end stage heart failure. It even has the potential to extend their life expectancy. However, the medical and ethical decisions involved in electing to have the surgery can be complicated and scary for potential LVAD recipients and their caregivers.
Code Blue is building tools for these patients to understand their diagnosis and the options available in a clear, sympathetic way. Leveraging mobile technology, they will be able communicate their goals and needs to caretakers and medical providers.
In time, Code Blue’s patient-centered approach to health could be generalized to other operations associated with severe medical conditions.

This presentation shared what neuroscience, cognitive science, and biology have to tell us about developing a learner centered approach to teaching. Originally presented at the Upper Peninsula of Michigan Conference on Teaching and Learning, May 11, 2018.
A four-year-old asks on average about 400 questions per day, and an adult generally asks much much less. Our school system is often structured around rewarding giving the "right" answer and not asking smart questions. The result over time is that, as we grow older, we stop asking questions. Yet asking good questions is essential to finding and developing solutions - an important skill in critical thinking, innovation, and leadership.
This workshop will support teachers to explore their current habits and practices of formulating and asking questions, discuss with their colleagues a range of practices from research and articles, and then develop some new practical approaches they can use with their students.
Intelligent behavior should be modeled and taught in the classrooms. The goal is to see students develop these skills. In the following pages, there will be examples of these behaviors and a classroom implementation.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

2. The Current Focus on Questioning
• In recent years educational
theorists have paid great attention
to questioning techniques in the
classroom.
• Ofsted have now started to look
more closely at questioning.
• Our recent Challenge Partner
Review also paid close attention to
the use of questioning in the
classroom.
3. Why Focus on Questioning?
In July 2003 TES published an article in their magazine stating that:
• “Teachers ask up to two questions every minute, up to
400 in a day, around 70,000 a year, or two to three million in
the course of a career. ”
• “Questioning accounts for up to a third of all teaching time,
second only to the time devoted to explanation.”
• “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.”
4. The Importance of Questioning
Questioning has the ability to:
• assess understanding;
• challenge understanding
• support understanding;
• develop knowledge;
• encourage active participation;
• improve confidence in public speaking.
5. Extracts from Ofsted Reports
Outstanding:
‘Teachers’ questioning of learners is well-
developed, both to ensure the promotion of
learning and to address learners’ particular
needs.’
Good:
‘Teachers ask probing questions to check progress
and support their good progress in lessons.’
7. Directed/Targeted Questioning
• Often the students who put their hands up to
answer a question know the correct answer and
this can give a teacher a false representation of
the students’ level of understanding.
• Directed questioning can ensure that all students
are actively engaged in the lesson and contribute
to the class. It can also allow for differentiation to
take place and provides a more accurate
representation of the level of understanding of
the class as a whole.
8. Directed Questioning with a Twist
Directed questioning leading into students
developing each other’s answers:
• Rather than the teacher developing an individual
student’s answer, the teacher asks another
student to develop the answer given.
• This can support student engagement and
contribute to ensuring ‘no student is left
undisturbed.’
9. Encouraging Student Independence
The best form of questioning is that which
makes students think for themselves and find
their own answers/solutions.
10. The Stuck Menu
Students choose 3 strategies from ‘The Stuck Menu’ before putting up their hand
to ask for help...
1. Record what you have tried and the
question you have and move on.
2. Consult the student-led question and answer
board (students pose a question on the board and
if someone has the answer, they add it to the
board).
3. Review previous learning and notes.
4. Use a text book/internet/smart-phone
5. Ask someone else in your group.
11. The notebook (also mode of self-assessment):
• Students can keep a record of questions they have
throughout the lesson.
• As a plenary or mid-plenary, students can share their
questions in groups and explore the answers the
together.
• Each groups students can choose one question to
pose to the teacher, or the rest of the class.
• The notebook is also a mode of self-assessment and
for students to record their own uncertainties,
alongside the answers. This visibly demonstrates
progress.
12. Questioning Exercise as a Plenary
• As a plenary, students can write down one thing
they are confused about from the lesson on a
post-it note.
• Students will then post these on the whiteboard.
13. • The teacher or a student can then choose some
post-it notes at random and these questions can
then be posed to the rest of the class to answer.
• As a result, students are learning to use each
other as a resource rather depending upon the
teacher.
14. Task:
• In your department time, think of a specific way
that you can use one or more of these ideas in
your subject.
• Come up with one or more of your own
questioning techniques to contribute to the
feedback.
