This week Tom Sherrington is the guest on the podcast. Tom is a former headteacher with an extensive influence and reach in education. He is the author of a number of brilliant education books, including the excellent 'WalkThru' series. He is now an educational consultant, running training in schools across the UK.
In this episode we explore the question: how can new teachers improve their questioning skills in the classroom? In answering that central question we also explore:
1. What is the purpose of questioning in the classroom?
2. From your observations of teachers, where do they tend to make mistakes with questioning?
3. What are the questioning techniques you feel are most effective in the classroom?
4. What other advice might you offer to teachers in the first few years of their career?
I hope you enjoy the episode!
