Overview
what are we already doing? (sharing forum)
Exploration of new and shared strategies for questioning and its effectiveness.
As the staff came into the room they were handed matchsticks and given a pile of post it notes and resources that would be use during lessons for evidence of questioning participation. i.e the match sticks would be taken each time someone asks a good question or answers one, for a higher level question they may have 2 sticks taken away ..... works well with ensuring 6th form participation and staff liked this . Post it notes used for various things however in this session one of the most useful things was that they listed 3 questions they had for me at the beginning of the session and they then changed their priority status, refined them and deleted as appropriate until they finally handed in at the end what hadnt been answered for them within the session.....this ended up being only 3 questions form a possible 30+ . these can be used in any lesson for any subject area and is low level planning for high impact evidence
Connect the learning
recapped and had forum discussion for strategies which staff practice and find effective, as a follow on from this I decided to collect everyones favourite and thier instructions of how it works so that we can build up a bank for all staff to dip into for ideas.
used kagan rally and round robin here to collect ideas.
Share new information
staff put post it notes on board of favourite questioning technique , other staff collected one they were not familiar with, this opened up a discussion and also re demonstrated remembering things like no hands up questioning and the staff being aware they could call a friend for help etc ......
